The Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, VK Saxena, will initiate legal action against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders, including Saurabh Bhardwaj, Atishi, Durgesh Pathak and Jasmine Shah, for defamatory and false allegations of corruption attributed to his tenure as the chairman of the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC).

As per the information, The AAP had alleged that the L-G was involved in a scam during the 2016 demonetization process and demanded a CBI probe against him.

The CBI has already investigated the case at the behest of the KVIC and filed a charge sheet.

Those found to be engaged in corruption at the Khadi board by the CBI are the same people who made the allegations of corruption against the L-G.

The L-G has taken a serious view of these defamatory and diversionary allegations made by these AAP leaders and decided to take legal action.

As per the information, The Government of India, on November 8, 2016, demonetized currency notes of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500. The KVIC issued a circular on November 9, 2016, stating that the “old currency notes of the denomination of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 will not be accepted by any sales outlets and establishments with immediate effect”.

The CBI concluded that of the total cash deposit of Rs 22.17 lakh in the denomination of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500, Rs 5.1 lakh was legal tender, arriving at the amount Rs 17.07 lakh.

A charge sheet was filed against the two accused - Sanjeev Kumar Malik and Pradeep Yadav - and the matter is pending before Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court.
