Ink attack on Arvind Kejriwal: Woman arrested
The incident occurred at a programme, organised to mark the success of the odd-even scheme for Delhi vehicles.
The Chief Minister had started his speech to the 5,000-strong audience at a stadium in Delhi when Bhavna Arora, 26, walked towards the dais and threw , and some papers and a CD at Mr Kejriwal. She was immediately detained by the police.
The police said Bhavna Arora belongs to the "Aam Aadmi Sena" a splinter group of Aam Aadmi Party formed by party rebels.
The incident sparked an angry reaction from AAP government as Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said it was a major security lapse on the part of the Delhi Police.
"I can see a BJP conspiracy," Sisodia alleged, wondering what would happen if acid had been thrown instead of ink.
