Defamation case against Bru leader transferred to Aizawl court

A defamation case against Mizoram Bru Displaced People's Forum (MBDPF) president A Sawibunga was transferred to a Aizawl court from Mamit district court after his plea to transfer it outside the state was dismissed.
Sawibunga's plea was dismissed yesterday by the Gauhati High Court, which transferred the case to Aizawl from the border district of Mamit.
The defamation case against the Bru leader was filed by Young Mizo Association leader.
The case was filed in Mamit district court but as Sawibunga failed to appear before it repeatedly, the court issued warrants of arrest thrice. The Bru leader is, however, yet to be arrested and produced before the court.

The High Court also directed Sawibunga to appear before the CJM court on June 26.
