Delhi Government Home department has sought a detailed report on the ink attack on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday and asked Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi to ensure that “no such incidents happen in future”.
The Principal Secretary (Home) SN Sahai on directions of the Delhi Government wrote a strongly worded missive and said, “Remedial measures to be taken so that such incidents do not occur in future.”
Sahai further sought a detail report of the incident in which ink was thrown at the CM during an official function. Bassi, however, said the security at the venue was adequate and there were no security lapses.
Bassi is planned to reply to the Delhi Government by Wednesday with all the detail report about the incident.
Sources said during investigation police found act the ink attack was a political act to gain publicity. “The Delhi Police has taken also security measures to avoid untoward incident,” said the source.
Sources said when the incident took place the CM was provided Z+ security and a proper access control was put in place so that no one enters with any lethal weapon or explosive item.
Sources also said security officials had made a ring around Kejriwal and were present at the stage. The accused Bhawna Arora breached the cordon and crossed the media enclosure where she took out some CDs, papers and blank ink and threw towards dais.
During that time when ink was thrown, the round ring of security personnel was shielding Kejriwal and when the ink was thrown most of the ink fell on the body of Delhi police personnel.
She was arrested and produced before the designated court.
