The Chief Electoral Office of Delhi has submitted its report to the Election Commission of India on the issue of over-expenditure involving former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal during assembly election campaigning in December last year.      

According to the report, Kejriwal had spent over Rs 21 lakh during the campaigning while the maximum limit of expenditure in the assembly poll is fixed at Rs 14 lakh per candidate.        

"The returning officer of the New Delhi assembly constituency, the district election officer, and expenditure observer have submitted their reports to the Election Commission of India. The matter is in the active consideration of the ECI. The ECI will now take a decision on whether a case is made out for disqualification or not," said Delhi's Chief Electoral Officer Vijay Dev.
