It has come as a shock that one man tried to attack the National Convener of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Arvind Kejriwal, when he was walking in the Delhi area of Greater Kailash on padyatra. The event was triggered when a liquid was thrown on the former Delhi Chief Minister by an assailant.

Kejriwal’s security team sprang into action, however, and was able to capture the man before things went any further. The entire episode has been recorded on camera; the man can be seen being restrained by security personnel
