Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been acquitted by a court in Uttar Pradesh in a 2018 defamation case over his remarks referring to then BJP chief Amit Shah as a 'murder accused'. The court ruled that Gandhi's statement was not defamatory and the complainant lacked the legal standing of an aggrieved party. Meanwhile, several students at Jamia Millia Islamia university in Delhi were detained by the police as protests continued on campus demanding time-bound elections to the students' union.
