A court here on Wednesday issued summons to AAP legislator Bhavna Gaur, accused of misrepresenting facts about her educational qualifications.
Metropolitan Magistrate Pankaj Sharma issued summons to Gaur, seeking her appearance before him on October 1, on a complaint filed by lawyer Samarendra Nath Verma against the Aam Aadmi Party legislator from Palam assembly constituency.
Verma had complained that Gaur had furnishing different information about her educational qualifications in her two election affidavits -- in 2013 and 2015.
