Kejriwal ink-attack: Woman arrested, sent to one-day police custody
New Delhi: The woman, who threw ink at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during the thanksgiving rally for the success of odd-even scheme at the Chhatrasal Stadium on Sunday, was arrested on Monday. She has been sent to one-day police custody. Earlier on Sunday, she was released on a personal bail bond.
The woman, who identified herself as Bhavna, Punjab in-charge of the Aam Aadmi Sena, accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government of being involved in a CNG scam. "The odd-even formula was positive, but behind that was a big CNG Scam, of which I have proofs. That is why I wanted to meet the Chief Minister and Gopal Raiji (Transport Minister), but they didn't agree to meet me," said the attacker.
