Cross-Examination of Satyaki Savarkar Focuses on Godse, Savarkar Family Links
Satyaki Savarkar asked the court to match Rahul Gandhi’s voice with a London speech as he pressed a criminal defamation case over alleged false remarks.
- On Monday, Satyaki Savarkar filed an application before a Pune court requesting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi provide a voice sample to match statements made during a London event.
- The filing stems from an April 2023 defamation complaint by Satyaki Savarkar accusing Rahul Gandhi of making malicious remarks about Savarkar during a London event in March 2023.
- During cross-examination, Satyaki Savarkar testified that his grandfather Gopal Godse and assassin Nathuram Godse were active members of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, contradicting the organization's claim that Nathuram Godse left before assassinating Gandhi.
- The application also questions Rahul Gandhi's request for exemption from physical court appearances on security grounds, citing that Pune is the hometown of Nathuram Godse.
- Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to address an event in Pune on or around August 22, as the legal proceedings continue amid the security concerns raised.
