New Delhi: Former Gujarat director general of police (DGP) R.B. Sreekumar Tuesday filed a defamation case against the BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and three others for harming his reputation by digging out a 20-year-old espionage case.
In his plea, Sreekumar urged a Delhi court to initiate proceedings against Modi, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh, party spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi and scientist Nambi Narayanan for hatching a conspiracy to defame him.
According to the petition, as part of the plan, Lekhi gave an interview to a TV channel where she alleged that Sreekumar played into the hands of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the US but falsely implicated Nambi Narayanan in the espionage case.
