Bribe issue: Court to hear plea against Kejriwal on September 10

A Delhi court would hear in September a criminal complaint seeking action against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for allegedly exhorting voters to take bribe from Congress and BJP and vote for AAP in the last assembly elections.

Metropolitan Magistrate Babru Bhan posted the matter for September 10 as the lawyers in the six district courts are on an indefinite strike to protest the delay in passage of a Bill in Parliament aimed at enhancing pecuniary jurisdiction of trial courts. The court had earlier directed the police to file an action taken report (ATR) on the complaint. The police is yet to file the ATR in the case.
