Sanjay Raut Gets Bail in Defamation Case Filed by Minister Dada Bhuse

Malegaon, 2nd Dec. 
A court in Malegaon, Maharashtra, has granted bail to Sanjay Raut, a leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), in a defamation case filed by state PWD and Nashik guardian minister Dada Bhuse.

Raut, a member of the Rajya Sabha for the Sena (UBT), was present in court. The court has scheduled the next hearing for February 3, 2024.

Raut has accused Bhuse of engaging in corruption amounting to Rs 178 crore in the Girna co-operative sugar factory located in Malegaon, Nashik district. This allegation prompted Bhuse to file a defamation case against Raut.

After being granted bail, Raut criticized Bhuse outside the Malegaon court.

“As per the Constitution, I have the right to call a thief a thief. The defamation case has been filed against me as I asked for the use of money by a minister. What’s wrong in asking for the accounts or utilisation of money? Bhuse should share the details. I will not bow down in any condition and there will be no compromise over corruption,” said Raut.

Responding to a question about Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s recent comments about the power tussle within the Sharad Pawar-founded NCP, Raut said, “What Ajit Dada says is scripted. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) scripts what Ajit Pawar says.”
