Punjab and Haryana HC dismisses Kangana’s plea seeking quashing of defamation complaint

CHANDIGARH, Aug 1: The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Friday dismissed a plea of BJP MP Kangana Ranaut seeking quashing of a defamation complaint against her and the summoning order by a court in Bathinda.
The actor-turned-politician had challenged the defamation case which stemmed from her retweet consisting of her own comment about the complainant during the 2020-21 farmer protests against the now repealed farm laws.
The complaint was filed by Mahinder Kaur (73) of Bahadurgarh Jandian village in Punjab’s Bathinda district in 2021. (PTI)
