The two Punjab ministers named in a sex racket in Gujarat on Saturday filed two separate defamation suits for Rs 100 crore against Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.

Public Works Department Minister Pratap Singh Bajwa and Revenue and Agriculture Minister Amarjit Singh Samara filed two separate civil suits individually seeking damages to the tune of Rs 50 crore each complaining of defamation against Modi and Shah in the court of Civil Judge (senior division) A S Garewal.

Garewal entrusted the case to the Additional Civil Judge (senior division). The case would come for further hearing on Monday.

Bajwa said the cases have been filed for defamatory statements released to the press by Modi and Shah regarding his alleged involvement in the sex racket.
