Sudhir Chaudhary, Consulting Editor of Aaj Tak, has been issued with a legal notice by the Indian Youth Congress for allegedly defaming party leader Rahul Gandhi.

According to the notice, civil and criminal procedures will be started against the channel and the anchor unless they remove the video from all platforms, broadcast an unconditional apology from the channel, and post it on Twitter.

The notice reads, “You have deliberately and maliciously compared Mr. Rahul Gandhi with someone accused and caught for an offence of robbery even though you are fully aware that Mr. Gandhi has been raising his objections to the offence committed by Nirav Modi and is seeking accountability from the Government of India."
