New Delhi, Jan 20 (IANS) A court here on Friday sought action taken report from police on a criminal complaint against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for allegedly misleading people by saying the municipal corporations were not under the city government's control.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Munish Markan directed Karawal Nagar Police station in north-east Delhi to file a report on a complaint against Kejriwal and listed the matter for April 15 for further hearing.
