Mishra's MCC violation: Court seeks DCP report, next hearing on April 8
The Morning Standard
|March 21, 2025
A Delhi court has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) to submit a comprehensive report in connection with an alleged Model Code of Conduct (MCC) violation by Delhi Law Minister Kapil Mishra during the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections.
-
The directive came from Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) Vaibhav Chaurasia of the Rouse Avenue Court, who has scheduled the matter for arguments on April 8.
The case stems from an accusation that Mishra made inflammatory remarks during the election period, prompting a complaint from the Election Commission. The court has also sought a status report from DCP North West regarding the retrieval of evidence from social media platform X, where the contentious post was allegedly shared by Mishra.
During the proceedings, the court was informed that Mishra's appeal against the summoning order was dismissed by the sessions court on March 7.
