A Delhi court today discharged Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and suspended BJP MP Kirti Azad in a criminal complaint filed against them by the Delhi and District Cricket Association and its then Vice President Chetan Chauhan for allegedly defaming the DDCA and Chauhan.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal granted the relief to Kejriwal and Azad, saying one of the complainants, Chauhan, has "no locus to prosecute this complaint any further because he has been relieved of his position as Vice President and the DDCA has now a new representative to prosecute the case."
