Jaipur: A lawyer on Thursday filed complaint in a local court seeking action against Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra for his reported comment 'Mango man in Banana republic' on a social networking site.
The complaint in the court of Judicial Magistrate No 32 sought action against Vadra under section 121 (A) (sedition), 153 (A) (promoting enmity between different groups), 500 and 501 (defamation) of IPC.
Hearing in the matter is slated for October 18.
