  "summary": "Delhi court issues a bailable warrant against YouTuber Dhruv Rathee in a criminal defamation case filed in 2018 by Vikas Sankrityayan, also known as Vikas Pandey. The case centers around allegations made in a video uploaded by Rathee, which claimed that the BJP's IT cell had attempted to bribe Sankrityayan to malign him. Sankrityayan, a social media activist and founder of the 'I Support NaMo' online group, initiated the proceedings after Rathee's earlier summons could not be served due to his primary residence being abroad. The court has scheduled the next hearing for October 31, with Sankrityayan accompanying the process server to ensure the summons are delivered promptly.",
