Punjab revenue minister Bikram Singh Majithia on Friday filed a defamation suit under the criminal offences against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, its Punjab unit in-charge Sanjay Singh and Delhi dialogue commission vice-chairman Ashish Khetan.

The suit was filed in the court of civil judge, senior division, Gurpartap Singh, here under Sections 499, 500, 34, 120-B of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), accusing the AAP leaders of tarnishing the reputation of Bikram Majithia and his family members through false, malicious allegations.

AAP hit back daring Majithia to lodge a case against its leaders and get them arrested.
