Defamation complaint filed against Arvind Kejriwal, Atishi before Delhi court

Delhi High Court

New Delhi: A criminal complaint was filed against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his AAP colleague Atishi before a court here on Monday, accusing them of defaming the BJP and its members.

The complaint was filed by Praveen Shankar Kapoor, the media head of BJP’s Delhi unit, before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Tanya Bamniyal, who posted the matter for recording pre-summoning evidence on May 4.

The complaint alleged that the two Aam Aadmi Party leaders made “false, fabricated, and manipulated statements”, accusing the BJP of trying to buy and poach AAP MLAs and topple the state government, “with a malafide intention to lower BJP's and its workers' reputation in general public”.
