Delhi Court Orders FIR Against Arvind Kejriwal for Illegal Hoardings in Dwarka

A Delhi Court has directed the police to register an FIR against former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and others for allegedly defacing public property by putting up illegal hoardings in Dwarka in 2019.

The order was passed based on a complaint by Shiv Kumar Saxena, who alleged violations under Section 3 of the Delhi Prevention of Defacement of Property Act, 2007.

The Court observed that illegal hoardings pose safety risks and are a public nuisance.

The Delhi Police opposed the plea, arguing that the complaint was old and no hoardings were currently displayed. However, the Court ruled that an investigation was necessary and directed the police to file a compliance report by March 18.
