DDCA to sue Kejriwal for defamation

December 30, 2015 17:01

Delhi's cricket body DDCA today said it would sue Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for defamation for alleging irregularities in selection for the state cricket team.

"If the charges of corruption were true, Virat Kohli wouldn't be the captain today," said the association's Chetan Chauhan. Chauhan was responding to Kejriwal's allegation in an interview to NDTV that there were massive irregularities in selection for the Delhi cricket team.

Earlier today, Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) released two letters that it claimed were proof of Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's direct involvement in covering up corruption in Delhi's cricket body DDCA.

Addressing a press conference, AAP also came out with a new edition of its "five questions" for Jaitley, showing letters purportedly written by him to the Delhi Police on a case linked to the DDCA or Delhi and District Cricket Administration.
