With the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections 2022, around the corner, fresh attacks can be noticed in the political circle of the city. In a recent breaking, Mohit Bharatiya, a former youth wing leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party, has filed a second criminal defamation charge against Nawab Malik, the leader of the Nationalist Congress Party and a state cabinet minister.
 
The court had summoned Malik in an earlier defamation complaint filed by Mohit Bharatiya, finding that he had hurt Bharatiya's image. Malik had been in court and had been released on bail. Malik made claims against him in connection with the Aryan narcotics case and linked him to it, according to the BJP worker's complaint.
 
Bharatiya has filed a second complaint through his lawyer, Faiz Merchant, alleging that Malik spoke at a news conference on November 7 and stated that the Aryan case was one of kidnapping and ransom and that Bharatiya was the mastermind behind it. He went on to say that Wankhede and Bharatiya are very close.
 
He claimed that Aryan was enticed into a trap set by Bharatiya's brother-in-law. Bharatiya further claimed that after Malik appeared in court in response to a summons issued by it in his defamation case, he gave another TV interview outside the court in which he referred to him as a "fraudster." In the interview, Malik claimed that Bharatiya had been charged with bank fraud totalling Rs.1,100.
Bharatiya stated the minister made these claims without evidence to discredit him. He demanded that Malik be brought before the court for the crime.
