Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh have been granted bail on a personal bond of Rs 40,000 in the defamation case filed by Punjab Revenue Minister Bikram Majithia.
Before appearing in a local court in Amritsar, Kejriwal challenged the Revenue Minister to arrest him or he would arrest Majithia. He also said that Majithia has flourished his drug trade which has affected most people in Punjab.
Majithia had filed the case in the May against Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh and AAP leader Ashish Khaitan for tarnishing his reputation. While Kejriwal and Singh have been granted bail, Khaitan will appear in the next hearing on October 15.
Majithia had alleged that Kejriwal, Singh and Khaitan had tried to malign his family name by levelling false, baseless and malicious allegations.
Majithia said Kejriwal as well as other leaders have 'made it a habit' to target their political opponents by resorting to statements 'filled with lies with the sole motive of hoodwinking the people.
