In escalating political differences, Minister Banna Gupta files a defamation lawsuit against MLA Saryu Roy. Next Hearing on May 29.

CHAIBASA – The ongoing feud between Jharkhand government minister, Banna Gupta, and Jamshedpur East MLA, Saryu Roy, escalated today as Gupta filed a defamation lawsuit against Roy in the court of MP MLA Special Judge Rishi Kumar in Chaibasa.

Banna Gupta testified in court today, reinforcing the complaint made in the special court of MP MLA.

Prakash Jha, Gupta’s advocate, stated that misleading news circulated by Saryu Roy since April 27 has brought harm to the Minister’s reputation.

Jha explained that a legal notice was sent to Roy, requesting an apology.

However, there has been no action taken by Roy’s side in response to the notice.

As a result, Gupta decided to escalate the issue by filing a formal complaint in court.

Today the testimony of Minister Banna Gupta has taken place,” Jha declared, adding that the court has scheduled May 29 for the next hearing on this matter.
