Police detained Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers as they attempted to march towards the BJP office in Delhi on Sunday. Heavy security was deployed outside the BJP office following Chief Minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal’s call to march to the party office amid the ongoing blame game between AAP and Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal over her alleged assault.
To maintain law and order, Delhi Police, Rapid Action Force, and CRPF personnel have been deployed. Meanwhile, authorities plan to take Kejriwal’s aide Bibhav Kumar, arrested on Saturday in connection with the May 13 assault case, to the Chief Minister’s residence on Sunday to recreate the crime scene.

Hours after Kumar’s arrest, Kejriwal, who is out on interim bail till June 2, held a press conference announcing his intention to march to the BJP office on Sunday. He challenged the Prime Minister to jail anyone he wants.
