Rahul Gandhi's lawyer withdraws court submission about threat to life

New Delhi: The court submission made about a threat to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's life allegedly from some BJP MPs stood withdrawn on Wednesday night. The lawyer, who made the submission on behalf of Gandhi, in a statement announced withdrawal of the submission and AICC released his statement to the press.

Lawyer Milind D Pawar said in a statement: "The pursis (submission) dated 13.08. 2025 was filed by me in the court without instructions from the client. The contents of the pursis were drafted by me without consulting my client Shri Rahul Gandhi. My client has taken strong exception to filling of this pursis dated 13. 08. 2025 and has expressed his disagreement with the contents of the pursis. I shall file a formal application tomorrow (Thursday) for withdrawal of the said pursis before the honourable court."

Pawar is representing Gandhi in a defamation case filed by Satyaki Savarkar, grand-nephew of VD Savarkar, over certain statements made by the Congress leader.
