It was on personal surety by former Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil that the court accepted the bail plea.A RSS functionary in Gujarat, Rajesh Kunte, had filed the case against Rahul Gandhi in Bhiwandi court. The complainant's counsel told the court that Kunte was ready to withdraw his case if Rahul accepts his mistake and submits an undertaking that he would not repeat such a mistake again.
