The FIR against the two leaders had been registered a day after Akash Sharma, the Chhattisgarh president of NSUI, filed a complaint over their tweets on a purported toolkit created by the Congress—allegedly to “defame” the country—on May 18.
The BJP leaders were accused of spreading unrest and provoking people over a fake story.
While Abhishek Manu Singhvi along with state advocate general S C Verma and Sumeet Sodhi represented the state government, Patra and Singh were represented by Mahesh Jethmalani, Vivek Sharma, Gary Mukhopadhyay, Apoorv Kurup, Avdhesh Kumar Singh and Ravi Sharma.
