"Misuse Of Name": Chirag Paswan Files Complaint Against Rightwing Influencer
Swatantra Bhardwaj was seen in a video clip from an interview, claiming that he had "cracked the skull" of the activist's father during a CJP protest in July
Union minister and LJP (RV) chief Chirag Paswan has filed a complaint over the open admission of an assault during the Jantar Mantar protest by influencer Swatantra Bharadwaj. Paswan warned that such a "very wrong precedent" could be set for the country if no action is taken against Bharadwaj for his remarks on a podcast. The incident involves Bharadwaj allegedly assaulting the father of student activist Nishu Azad.
Paswan accused Bharadwaj of misusing his name and those of other politicians during the podcast discussion. He called for a fair investigation by the Delhi Police and emphasized that people in public life can express their views without misusing others' names.
