Advocate Dhamija also argued in the court that ousted Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Kapil Mishra has made defamatory remarks against Jain in front of society. Mishra had charged Jain of bribery and nepotism against him. He said that he saw Jain giving Rs 2 crore in cash to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at his residence. He also alleged that Jain helped Kejriwal's relatives to secure farm house land deals in Delhi. Sirsa, on the other hand, alleged that he has information that Jain demanded Rs 7 crore as bribe from someone.(ANI)
