Patna: Bihar Minister and JD-U leader Ashok Choudhary has given defamation notice to Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) founder Prashant Kishor, accusing him of making a new set of “wild, frivolous and defamatory allegations”. The notice states that if it is not done, Choudhary will initiate appropriate criminal proceedings and a civil suit for damages amounting to Rs 100 crore in Bihar. The notice states that Kishor made “defamatory statements” at a press conference held in Patna on September 19, 2025. The notice also refers to a previous defamation case filed by Chaudhary against Kishor and states that the Jan Suraaj leader has been issued a notice by the competent court in that case. “You have caused irreparable harm and besmirched the reputation and standing of my client just to attain relevance in the state politics,” the notice states.
