Shekhawat presented other evidence including Gehlot’s remarkb in media before the court. ACMM Harjeet Singh Jaspal asked Ashok Gehlot to appear considering the evidence against him as prima facie correct.

ACMM Jaspal said, “There are sufficient grounds for issuing summons in the case. It appears from news published in electronic media & newspapers also.
