ShopClues co-founder Sandeep Aggarwal has filed a criminal defamation case against other co-founders -- Sanjay Sethi and estranged wife Radhika -- in Delhi courts earlier this month alleging them of downplaying his role in creation of the online marketplace.

The statement, issued by Sandeep's press team today, comes a day after he made several allegations against Radhika in a series of Facebook posts.

ShopClues was valued at over USD 1 billion last year. Its investors include GIC Pte Ltd, Tiger Global Managment LLC and Nexus Venture Partners.
