No relief to AAP leaders

NEWDELHI: AAP leaders Ashutosh and Sanjay Singh have failed to get relief as a sessions court rejected their plea against an order to put them on trial along with chief minister Arvind Kejriwal in a defamation complaint filed by Union minister Arun Jaitley in the DDCA controversy.

In December 2015, Jaitley had filed a criminal complaint for defamation alleging that Kejriwal and five otherAAP leaders had made defaming statements against him regarding his tenure as the DDCA president from December 1999 to December 2013.
