In 𓃲a major legal setback for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi's Rouse Avenue court on Tuesday directed Delhi Police to register an FIR against him and others in a matter related to an alleged misuse of public money in putting up large hoardings in Delhi.
According to PTI, the complaint filed in 2019 alleged that Kejriwal, then Matiala MLA Gulab Singh (AAP), and then Dwarka A ward councilor Nitika Sharma "deliberately misused public money by put🦋ting up large-sized hoardings" at various places in the area.
"This court is of the considered opinion that the application u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C. deserves to be allowed. Accordingly, the concerned SHO is directed to register FIR immediately under section 3 of Delhi Preve🍬ntion of Defacement of Property Act, 2007 and any other offence that appears to have been committed from the facts of the case," Additional Chief Jud🍎icial Magistrate Neha Mittal said.
Kejriwal is currently out on bail in a case related to the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam. He also faced defeat in the February 5 Delhi Assembly elections including in his own🧸 constituency of New Delhi.
