Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Jan 18, 2016:  The woman who threw ink on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during a public meeting on Sunday to mark the success of the odd-even scheme has been arrested.

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 ink, 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 prompted angry reaction from AAP government, with Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia slamming the Delhi Police by calling the incident a major security lapse and wondered whether it was "sitting in readiness to stage an attack on Kejriwal".

"I can see a BJP conspiracy," Mr Sisodia alleged, wondering what would happen if acid had been thrown instead of ink.
