Letter to CM Arvind Kejriwal: Never complained against Meena, says police inspector

The party also sought to know the reason behind Kejriwal having “nearly 200 employees” as his Secretariat staff.

Delhi Police Inspector Jagmender Dahiya has threatened legal action against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and others for allegedly “misusing his name”. The AAP government had used Dahiya’s complaint against M K Meena to fortify its position against the latter’s appointment as the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) chief.

In a letter to the CM on July 2, Dahiya has claimed that he never filed a complaint against Meena. “I am informing you that I had not filed any complaint before any authority and police officials against Mukesh Kumar Meena, joint commissioner, Delhi Police. I personally respect him and whatever the news items published in the newspapers are only rumours and media and other authorities/leaders had not taken my opinion/consent from me and also my name has been misused in this regard,” said the letter by Dahiya, according to sources. “I may file a defamation case against those who have misused and are still misusing my name”.

On June 26, Dahiya had told The Indian Express that he had filed a complaint against Meena.

However, when contacted on Tuesday, the inspector claimed, “I have never approached the ACB regarding any complaint and yes, I have written to the CM’s office (and asked them) to not misuse my name.”

But sources in the Chief Minister’s Office said they have not received any such letter.

Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, during the Delhi Assembly’s Budget Session, had said that the ACB had received a complaint from Dahiya, alleging Meena’s involvement in hawala transactions. Sisodia even claimed that Kejriwal had written to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh in this context.
