Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and AAP leader Sanjay Singh were granted bail by a court here on Friday in a defamation case filed by Punjab Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia. The court has scheduled the next hearing for October 15.
“Arvind Kejriwal and Sanjay Singh today [on Friday] appeared before the court, which granted them bail. Ashish Khetan has been asked to appear at the next hearing scheduled for October 15,” AAP member H.S. Phoolka told reporters here.
On July 18, the court issued summons to Mr. Kejriwal, Mr. Singh, who is in charge of the AAP’s Punjab affairs, and Mr. Khetan, a journalist-turned-politician. On May 20, Mr. Majithia filed the case, alleging that the AAP was making baseless allegations against him and his family over the issue of drugs. — PTI
