Arvind Kejriwal Admits Error: Retweeted Dhruv Rathee’s Video on BJP IT Cell

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal publicly acknowledges his mistake during a Supreme Court hearing, where he admitted to retweeting a video by YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, allegedly defaming the BJP IT Cell. Represented by senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, Kejriwal's admission came amidst a criminal defamation case against him, with the Delhi High Court previously upholding summons issued to the CM. While the Supreme Court bench refrained from issuing notice on Kejriwal's plea challenging the High Court's order, they offered the complainant the opportunity to decide on closing the case in light of the Chief Minister's apology. Singhvi emphasized Kejriwal's acknowledgment, stating, "I can say this much that I made a mistake by retweeting." The High Court, in its ruling dated February 5, had highlighted that reposting alleged libelous content could invoke defamation laws. As the legal proceedings unfold, the Supreme Court directs the trial court to defer the defamation case involving Kejriwal until March 11. This development underscores the intersection of social media engagement and legal consequences, shedding light on the complexities of navigating digital platforms in the modern age. #politicalgossip
