Man Throws Liquid On Arvind Kejriwal In Delhi, Detained By Security Staff

A man threw water on former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal during a padyatra in the national capital today. Visuals of the attack show security personnel and Mr Kejriwal’s supporters catching the man and thrashing him, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief assessing what had just happened.

Police sources said the incident happened while Mr Kejriwal was walking with supporters in south Delhi’s Malviya Nagar neighbourhood.

The man has been identified as Ashok Jha, they said, adding he has been detained and is being questioned.

AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj alleged the BJP was behind the attack.

“Law and order have collapsed in Delhi and the central government and the Home Minister are not doing anything,” Mr Bharadwaj told news agency ANI.
