Former UN official Lakshmi Puri sues MP Saket Gokhale for defamation over tweets about her assets.

Former UN official Lakshmi Puri has filed a contempt plea in the Delhi High Court against TMC MP Saket Gokhale for not complying with a previous court order to apologize publicly and pay 50 lakh in damages for defamation. The court has issued a notice and ordered Gokhale to submit an affidavit disclosing his assets within four weeks. The case stems from Gokhale's tweets accusing Puri of having unexplained assets in Switzerland.
