Publisher Pravin Gohil of Gujarati eveninger 'Pratap Darpan' yesterday filed a complaint against his employee Alpesh Sapkal, a computer operator, stating that Sapkal had sent 25 slanderous e-mails on December 11 last year to Ms Gandhi from the office computer by using different e-mail IDs, without his knowledge, the sources said.
