New Delhi, 30 November 2024 – A man threw water at former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during a padyatra in Malviya Nagar on Thursday, sparking a scuffle between the assailant and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supporters.
Visuals from the incident show Kejriwal assessing the situation as personnel and supporters restrained and beat the man before handing him over to the police.
Police sources confirmed the man has been detained and is under questioning to determine the motive behind the attack.
Meanwhile, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj accused the BJP of orchestrating the attack, stating, "Law and order have collapsed in Delhi, and the central government, along with the Home Minister, is doing nothing."
The AAP also criticized the state of security in Delhi through a post on its X handle, questioning, “If a former chief minister is not safe in the country's capital, what will happen to the common man? Law and order in Delhi has completely collapsed under BJP rule.”
