Delhi court to hear Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit’s defamation case against Atishi, Sanjay Singh on February 19

Dikshit alleges the AAP leaders defamed him by accusing him of taking money from the BJP and implying collusion with the BJP to defeat AAP.

NEW DELHI: A Delhi court will hear a criminal complaint filed by Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit against Delhi chief minister Atishi and AAP leader Sanjay Singh on February 19.
The hearing, initially scheduled for Thursday, was deferred after the counsel for the AAP leaders sought more time to argue on the cognisance of the complaint.
The court had earlier issued a notice to Atishi and Singh on January 16 in connection with Dikshit's complaint, which alleged that the AAP leaders "deliberately" damaged his goodwill.
The matter reportedly arises from a press conference where Atishi and Singh allegedly accused Dikshit of accepting crores of rupees from the BJP and claimed that Congress had colluded with the BJP to defeat AAP.
Dikshit had contested the Delhi assembly election from the New Delhi constituency against former chief minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal.
