India court grants bail to Rahul Gandhi

An Indian court granted bail to opposition leader Rahul Gandhi in the latest defamation case against him for accusing PM Narendra Modi or his party BJP of corruption. Gandhi, who has faced numerous such cases, was last year briefly disqualified from parliament after a criminal libel conviction. The latest case stems from Gandhi’s Congress party accusing BJP of taking commissions from projects in Karnataka. Critics have accused Modi and BJP of using the justice system to target political rivals.
