Overview

  • The Privileges Committee urged the House to consider action against Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Ram Niwas Goel and Rakhi Birla for skipping its sittings.
  • The report says the four deliberately stayed away on 13 and 20 November 2025, conduct the panel deems contempt of the House and its committee.
  • The inquiry concerns a renovated section presented in 2022 as a British-era gallows chamber, a claim BJP leaders dispute as a tiffin room.
  • Kejriwal and Sisodia have filed a writ petition in the Delhi High Court challenging the committee’s jurisdiction, and the petition is pending.
  • Speaker Vijender Gupta scheduled a House discussion for 7 January, and the committee says it will continue its authenticity probe and report next session.
