HC slaps Rs 50 lakh fine on ex-SP MLA for accusing Rahul Gandhi of rape

This in continuation to our previous entry here Did Media underreport this news about Rahul?

The reports coming in media (all this time) suggest this was a false accusation.

The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court Monday fined a petitioner Rs.50 lakh for falsely accusing Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi of gangrape of a girl in his Amethi parliamentary constituency.

The court has also directed the state government to probe the controversy in order to ascertain if there was a political conspiracy behind the petition.

There are an important lessons for media here , Imagine how high credibility of media would have been if they would have reported HC notice to Rahul in same zeal
