Complaint against CM Arvind Kejriwal over his MCD claims

A criminal complaint was filed against chief minister Arvind Kejriwal in a court on Saturday, seeking filing of an FIR against him, alleging he has misled the people of Delhi by stating that the municipal corporations are not under the AAP government’s control.

The complainant, Brijesh Shukla of the Swaraj Janta Party, sought direction to the SHO of Karawal Nagar police station in northeast Delhi to register an FIR against Mr Kejriwal under relevant section of the IPC.

The court, after allowing the plea, fixed February 10 as the next date of hearing.

Mr Kejriwal had come out with a full-page advertisement in newspapers in October last year saying there were misunderstandings regarding a strike by MCD employees and he wanted to make it clear that it was wrong to say that the corporations come under the Delhi government, Mr Shukla claimed.
