Managing director of a company the AAP had accused of taking huge commissions in DDCA affair on Friday issued a legal notice to the party seeking unconditional apology, failing which criminal defamation proceedings will be initiated against it.
Lokesh Sharma, MD of 21st Century Media Private Limited, served the notice on AAP leaders Ashutosh and Sanjay Singh, accusing them of making allegations against him and finance minister Arun Jaitley which are baseless and defamatory and are factually false. The notice referred to the allegation made by the two leaders that illegal corporate boxes were constructed and were sub leased to 10 corporate houses by a company close to Mr Jaitley and his family.
They also alleged that 21st Century Media (TCM) was tasked to sell and sub-lease the boxes for 10 years at Rs 36 crore for which a commission of Rs 5.4 crores was paid to the company and insinuated that Mr Jaitley knew why the commission was paid to TCM.
