In the complaint, he alleged that the Chief Minister Kejriwal himself revealed this fact in public that his daughter tried giving bribe to a public servant for the purpose of making her driving license. Her action was a crime under Prevention of Corruption Act and also under IPC.
“By offering bribe to a public servant, Ms Harshita Kejriwal has committed an offense under Section 12 of PAC and also u/s 171 r/2 511 IPC”, the complaint read.
He alleged that since she was daughter of Delhi Chief Minister, the concerned officials might have been hesitant to lodge a complaint against her.
The complaint was addressed to the Police Commissioner of Delhi, and it requested the Police to lodge an FIR and investigate the matter.
A day earlier, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal made a statement about his daughter’s experience of applying for a learner’s driving license and how she tried to find out if officials can be lured into taking bribe.
Harshita went to apply for learner’s driving license, but told the concerned officer that she did not have one required document. She told them that she was in hurry and was ready to pay a bribe amount, without revealing her identity. However the officer refused to entertain her application without documents.
“She further tried to bribe him by offering money. As she offered money this officer started noticing her phone if she was making a video. My daughter insisted that it was urgent and she was ready to pay any amount but the officer refused it”, Kejriwal told at a public meeting in Burari in Outer Delhi on May 17.
When the officer refused to be bribed, she gave him the required documents and got the Driving License made.
“The officer after reading her name and my name in father’s section asked her if she was daughter of Chief Minister of Delhi and then entire department came forward to make her license”, Kejriwal said to the audience.
