The case is based on a complaint made by Gujarat MLA Purnesh Modi, who claimed that Gandhi defamed the whole Modi community by saying “How come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname?” at a poll rally in Karnataka in 2019.

Rahul Gandhi had stated to the judge that his remark was designed to expose corruption and did not target a particular community, according to his lawyer K.C. Panwala, who spoke to local media. He entered a not-guilty plea and said that whatever he said was for the benefit of others. Rahul Gandhi was found guilty under Sections 499 and 500 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) shortly after leaving court.
