Security tightened in Delhi in view of INDIA bloc’s protest against Kejriwal’s arrest
New Delhi: Multiple layers of barricades have been set up and a large number of police personnel deployed on roads leading to the BJP headquarters in New Delhi in view of opposition INDIA bloc’s protest, today, against the arrest of AAP convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
According to Kashmir Media Service, besides police personnel, paramilitary forces have also been stationed at many places in Central Delhi.
Kejriwal, who is in the Enforcement Directorate’s custody, was arrested by the agency on March 21 in the Delhi excise policy-linked money-laundering case.
The AAP on Thursday had said members of the bloc will demonstrate against Kejriwal’s arrest as well as on the electoral bonds issue at the BJP headquarters on DDU Marg.
The Delhi Police said prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC, which bars large gatherings, have been imposed at the DDU Marg and its nearby areas.
The AAP has been holding protests for the past week following the arrest of its convener.
