Criminal defamation suits were filed before a local court today against Congresss leaders Rahul Gandhi and Randeep Singh Surjewala by the Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank (ADCB) over their allegation that the bank was involved in a "scam" to convert "Rs 750 crore" within five days of demonetisation in 2016.

A plea filed by complainants--the ADCB and its chairman Ajay Patel--contended that the two leaders had levelled "false and defamatory allegations" against the bank.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate S K Gadhvi has ordered a court enquiry into the matter under section 202 of the CrPC(to enquire into the case to decide whether or not there is sufficient ground for proceeding)
In a tweet, Gandhi had said, "Congratulations Amit Shah ji, Director, Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank, on your bank winning 1st prize in the conversion of old notes to new race. Rs 750 crore in 5 days!
