“The Metro Unit of Delhi Police had registered an FIR and was investigating the matter,” a police official said.
The accused works at a well-known bank and is not associated with any political party but it seems he is not in sound mental condition, although this can be confirmed only after a medical examination, police sources told ANI.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of plotting an attack on Arvind Kejriwal.
While addressing a press conference, AAP MP Sanjay Singh said, “The BJP has been in a state of panic ever since Arvind Kejriwal came out of jail. The BJP is now plotting to launch a deadly attack on Arvind Kejriwal. This conspiracy is being conducted directly from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). A threat of attack on Kejriwal ji has been written at Patel Nagar and Rajiv Chowk metro stations.”
