Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and suspended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kirti Azad will appear before a Delhi court today, as they have been summoned over a criminal defamation complaint filed by Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) and its vice-president Chetan Chauhan.

The court had earlier observed that their statements prima facie adversely affected the reputation of the cricketing body and its officials. This comes after the Delhi high court on February 7th had slapped a fine of Rs 10,000 on Kejriwal and Rs 30,000 on Azad for delay in filing a response to the defamation suit.
