Delhi court grants bail to AAP leader Atishi in defamation case

The defamation case was filed by Delhi BJP leader Praveen Shankar Kapoor against Atishi for levelling allegations that AAP leaders were approached by the BJP to join them in return for cash. The judge will further take up the matter on August 8 for scrutiny of documents and arguments on framing of notice (charges). The judge on May 28 refused to summon chief minister Arvind Kejriwal in the complaint. The court, however, summoned Atishi.
