The case stems from a 2019 complaint filed by Shiv Kumar Saksena, who alleged misuse of public funds through large hoardings displayed across various public locations in Dwarka, including parks, roads, poles, and DDA properties.
The hoardings featured greetings and announcements with photographs of several political figures, including Kejriwal, former MLA Gulab Singh and others.
