New Delhi: Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on Monday sent a legal notice to the leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) including Atishi, Saurabh Bhardwaj, Durgesh Pathak, Jasmine Shah, and Sanjay Singh over their "false and derogatory" charges against him for his alleged involvement in a Rs 1,400 crore "scam" during his tenure as the KVIC chairman.
