A Metropolitan Magistrate in Mazgaon, Mumbai, has sentenced Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut to 15 days of simple imprisonment in a defamation case. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 in the case filed by Medha Kirit Somaiya, the wife of BJP leader Kirit Somaiya. Raut was convicted under Section 500 of the Indian Penal Code, according to her lawyer.
BJP leader Kirit Somaiya stated, “Sanjay Raut has been sentenced to 15-day imprisonment and taken into custody. He must pay a Rs 25,000 fine to the complainant, Medha Somaiya.”
In May 2022, Medha Somaiya had filed a Rs 100 crore defamation suit against Raut in the Bombay High Court after Raut accused her and her husband of being involved in a Rs 100 crore scam related to the construction of public toilets under the Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation’s jurisdiction.
Medha Somaiya’s complaint highlighted that Raut, as the Executive Editor of the Marathi newspaper “SAAMNA” and a Shiv Sena spokesperson, made malicious statements against her in April 2022, which were published and circulated through media channels and went viral on social media.
