“The legal notice served to me by MLA’s lawyer demanded an apology and 1 crore. I am reiterating my allegations that Bhayana is involved in corrupt practices and he has encroached upon government land. I have sufficient evidences against Bhayana to prove him guilty,” Rathi said.

“The language used by the AAP leader cannot be tolerated at any cost,” the lawyer added.
