A Mumbai court sentenced Rajya Sabha MP and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut to 15 days imprisonment in a defamation case filed by Medha Somaiya, wife of former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya.
Medha Somaiya, a professor of Organic Chemistry at Ruia College in Mumbai, had said in her complaint that Raut made baseless and completely defamatory allegations against her and her husband.
She had sought action against the Shiv Sena (UBT) MP for his allegations that she was involved in a Rs 100 crore toilet scam carried out by her and her NGO Yuva Pratishthan.
