Amit Malviya

Days after an RSS member alleged that Amit Malviya "indulged" in sexual exploitation of women, the BJP IT cell chief on Monday sued Sanatanu Sinha for Rs 10 crore over defamation.  The Congress has asked for a full-proof investigation into the matter.

In the legal notice, Malviya seeks the removal of Sinha's "false, and derogatory" post from the social media. "The nature of allegations are extremely offensive in as much as, they falsely allege sexual misconduct purportedly committed by my client. The same is fatally injurious to the dignity and reputation of my client who, by virtue of his professional profile, is a public figure," the notice reads.

The Congress on Monday sought action against Bharatiya Janata Party's IT Cell chief Amit Malviya after a RSS member alleged that Malviya 'indulged' in sexual exploitation of women.

"We demand one thing from the BJP: justice for women. Less than 24 hours after PM Modi's swearing-in ceremony, grave allegations of sexual exploitation have emerged against a prominent BJP figure, the chief of its IT cell," said Congress leader Supriya Shrinate.
