Plea to summon officials in Kejriwal abetting bribery case

Published

New Delhi: An advocate, who filed a criminal complaint against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal accusing him of abetting bribery, on Wednesday moved an application seeking summoning of poll officials as witnesses in the case.

Arun Kumar, a lawyer at the Tis Hazari courts, accused Kejriwal of abetting bribery by asking voters to take bribes from the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party but to vote for the Aam Aadmi Party.

He requested Metropolitan Magistrate Babru Bhan to issue summons to officials of the Election Commission as complainant witnesses with notices that it issued to Kejriwal, asking him to desist from making such comments.

The court has put the matter for December 4 for consideration of his application.

The lawyer has contended that Kejriwal, despite knowing that bribery was a crime, instigated voters to take money.

He had said Kejriwal made the statement at a public rally on January 18 at Uttam Nagar and then again on January 22 at Krishna Nagar.

The Election Commission had issued three notices to Kejriwal, asking him to desist from making such comments.

Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar.
