New Delhi: A private criminal complaint has been filed against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a Delhi for using "defamatory" words against Prime Minister Narendra Modi following the recent CBI raid at the office of his Principal Secretary.

This comes the same day after the Delhi High Court on Tuesday sought response of Kejriwal and five other AAP leaders on a civil defamation suit filed against them by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley seeking Rs 10 crore in damages for issuing allegedly false and defamatory statements against him and his family members.
