Bharatiya Janata Party's youth wing leader Mohit Bharatiya has served Bank of Baroda a defamation notice for declaring him a willful defaulter in debt servicing cases. The notice said that the bank hasn't followed due procedure in declaring him a willful defaulter despite the payment of R76 crore that he had made from his personal coffers for standing a guarantor for borrowing companies Avyaan Ornaments Pvt Ltd and KBJ Developers.

Bharatiya, however, hasn't mentioned in his legal notice the company — Avyaan Ornaments Pvt Ltd — for which he was declared a willful defaulter along with one more person on Wednesday. Bharatiya (earlier known as Kamboj) said that his contention was about him being declared a willful defaulter although he had paid for the two companies.
