Parvesh Verma Testifies in Defamation Battle Against Saurabh Bhardwaj

Verma claims that Bhardwaj’s digital campaign across X, Instagram, and Facebook inflicted lasting damage on his professional standing and his family’s reputation. During the hearing, Additional Chief Magistrate Neha Mittal recorded the minister’s testimony, which serves as a pivotal step in the ongoing legal dispute. Verma maintains that he holds no connection to the West Delhi school or the trust implicated in the original incident.

Represented by senior advocate Sacchin Puri, the minister is now preparing for the next phase of the proceedings. The court has scheduled the subsequent hearing for July 15, when it will begin reviewing witness statements to determine the veracity of the claims made during the online fallout.
