Man hurls shoe at Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal during Press Conference on Odd Even formula
New Delhi: The Delhi Police arrested the man who hurled a shoe at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal when he was addressing a press conference on the second odd-even plan in the city.
The police have registered a case under sections 186, 353, 355 of Indian penal code.
"He said that he wasn't happy with present government. We are probing the matter, he will be produced before the court tomorrow," said DCP Central, Parmaditya, told reporters here.
Earlier in the day, a shoe was hurled at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by man who claimed to be from Aam Aadmi Sena, a breakaway group of AAP, during a press conference but it did not hit the AAP chief.
The attacker, identified as Ved Prakash, was detained by police, which quizzed him.
He talked about alleged irregularities in distribution of CNG stickers and claimed that no action has been taken though a complaint was filed by him with the Chief Minister.
The incident happened during a press conference at Delhi Secretariat here addressed by Kejriwal on roll out of the second phase of the Odd-Even scheme from April 15.
The shoe fell short of the Chief Minister, who had earlier been targeted with ink and was slapped by a man during campaigning for last Assembly election.
The attacker, who is about 26-27 years of age, shouted as he was being whisked away. Kejriwal later continued with the press conference.
AAP MLA Sourav Bharadwaj while talking to ABP News termed it a pre-planned incident.
Few months ago, a woman Bhavna Arora from Aam Aadmi Sena threw ink on Kejriwal during a function organised by the Aam Aadmi Party to thank people of Delhi for the success of the odd-even plan.
