Former cricketer and BJP candidate Gautam Gambhir is leading from East Delhi according to the Lok Sabha election results. Mr Gambhir is contesting against AAP’s Atishi and Congress’s Arvinder Singh Lovely in the constituency.

During the campaign for the Lok Sabha elections in East Delhi, Atishi had accused Mr Gambhir of circulating derogatory pamphlets that attacked her personally.

The BJP candidate denied the allegations and responded with a defamation notice, to which Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and AAP leader Manish Sisodia also shot a similar counter-threat.
