India FM sues Kejriwal over graft claims

Afp, New Delhi

India's finance minister yesterday filed a defamation suit against Delhi's leader who had accused him of large-scale corruption in his former role as head of the capital's cricket association. Arun Jaitley personally went to a Delhi court under tight security to sue Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and five other members of his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for making "false and defamatory" statements against him.
