Lucknow, July 03: Uttar Pradesh government today gave the green signal for filing of chargesheet in a court against BJP MP Varun Gandhi for making allegedly inflammatory speeches in Pilibhit, moving a step closer to his trial in the case.
“The government has given a go-ahead to the District Magistrate of Pilibhit to file chargesheet against Gandhi accused of delivering inflammatory speeches during Lok Sabha polls”, Secretary (Home) Mahesh Gupta told PTI.
The Pilibhit administration, after receiving the report from Forensic Science Laboratory in Chandigarh on the CDs of Varun’s alleged inflammatory speeches that Varun’s voice was not tampered with, had sought permission from the government to file the chargesheet against the BJP MP, sources said.
The state Home department had earlier sought an advice from the legal department which favoured prosecution of Gandhi in the case, they said.
