A lawyer today claimed he did not furnish the alleged complaint to BJP leader Vijender Gupta which he used to petition Lt Governor Najeeb Jung against Delhi Government's senior standing counsel Rahul Mehra.
Vibhor Anand, the lawyer said he filed a complaint against Gupta today at the office of Lt Governor seeking an investigation into the matter by the Delhi Police.
Gupta, who is Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly, had last week petitioned Lt Governor Najeeb Jung against Mehra, based on the alleged complaint of Vibor Anand, on which an inquiry has been ordered.
"Vibhor Aanand had complained in the matter to the Leader of Opposition. Considering seriousness of the matter, Gupta had demanded the L-G should order an investigation. The L-G found the matter to be serious and ordered an investigation against Rahul Mehra and his associate government counsels," said a statement from Gupta's office.
However, Vibhor denied having met Gupta ever.
"No such complaint was filed by me on this issue to Vijendra Gupta or to the L-G. I have never met Vijendra Gupta and the complaint forwarded to the L-G by him is not mine, and signature on the complaint are also forged," he said.
Gupta, however, said his office receives several complaints which are forwarded to authorities concerned in a routine manner while demanding an investigation into the whole matter.
"The complaint was fwded to me & contained matter of grave pub misconduct. I did my duty by fwding it to competent authority. Complaint mentions a law student Vibhor Anand. Actual complainant as well as content of the complaint shud b investigated(sic)," Gupta said in a tweet.
