Influencer Ajeet Bharti Faces Legal Heat Over False Claims About Ram Mandir

Ajeet Bharti, a social media influencer, has been served a notice by Bengaluru Police to join a probe after an FIR was filed against him for allegedly spreading false claims about the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. The case, registered by the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, alleges Bharti falsely attributed statements to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.

Ajeet Bharti, a Noida-based social media influencer, is facing serious legal troubles after an FIR was lodged against him for disseminating false information regarding the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. According to official sources, Bengaluru Police have now served him a notice, directing him to participate in the ongoing investigation.

The FIR stems from a complaint by the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC). The catalyst for the investigation was a video Bharti posted on June 13, in which he falsely claimed that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi intended to replace the Ram Mandir with the Babri Masjid. According to the complaint, no such statements were ever made by Gandhi.

A police team from Bengaluru recently visited Bharti's Noida residence to serve him the notice. The legal actions against Bharti have been initiated under sections of the Indian Penal Code, including promoting enmity between different groups and spreading hatred. The complainant, KPCC Legal Cell Secretary Advocate B K Bopanna, alleges that Bharti's fabricated claims have caused discord among various religious communities.
