Mumbai, May 23
Maharashtra BJP leader Kirit Somaiya’s wife Medha Somaiya has filed a defamation case against Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut in Mumbai’s Shivdi Court for allegedly harassing and defaming her over ‘Toilet Scam’.
“Defamation Petition 2500031/2022 against Sanjay Raut admitted at Sewree Court. Next hearing 26 may. (Medha) Somaiya charged Raut allegations of ?100 crore toilet scam are baseless. Demand action against Raut,” Kirit Somaiya tweeted.
Medha Somaiya had earlier lodged a complaint against Raut at the Mulund police station in Mumbai.
Speaking to the media after filing a defamation suit against Sanjay Raut, Kirit Somaiya said that Sanjay Raut had made false allegations against him and his wife. Last month, Raut had challenged Somaiya to expose him over an allegedly committed ‘Toilet Fraud’. However, Raut failed to produce relevant documents to substantiate his claim.
Raut had claimed that Medha Somaiya had committed a fraud of Rs 100 crore. He asserted that he had some documents in the case, which would expose the BJP leader. After lodging a complaint against Sanjay Raut last week, Kirit Somaiya had said that his wife Medha Somaiya was defamed and humiliated.
Medha Somaiya had demanded actions under IPC 503, 506 and 509 for character assassination against Raut in her complaint with the police.
Following alleged police inaction, Medha amd Kirit reached the court and filed a Rs 100 crore defamation suit against Sanjay Raut today.
