evidence: Babbar filed a complaint following Tharoor's assertion that an unnamed RSS leader had compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "a scorpion sitting on a Shivling," which Tharoor had described as an "extraordinarily striking metaphor". [...] High Court had earlier granted Tharoor a final chance to present his submissions in a plea challenging the defamation proceedings brought against him by a BJP leader over his alleged "scorpion on Shivling" remark concerning PM.
