Activities

Attack on Delhi Chief Minister's house

On 30 March 2022, the official residence of the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was attacked by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia called the incident a conspiracy to murder Kejriwal.[4][5] BJP members were denied permission for protest, yet they proceeded with their plans. Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM, the youth wing of BJP) national president and Lok Sabha Member of Parliament Tejaswi Surya had led a protest against Arvind Kejriwal with around 200 BJYM members. Several of these protesters were seen in the CCTV video, breaking the barriers, vandalizing the main gate of the residence of Delhi Chief Minister. They painted the black coloured main gate red. According to Delhi Police officials, the attackers also damaged a CCTV camera. According to the Aam Aadmi Party leaders, Kejriwal was not in the house at the time of the attack but his family members were present.

AAP MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj filed a petition in the Delhi High Court (HC) seeking the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) for a "fair and time-bound investigation" in the incident. He petitioned that the attack and vandalization appeared to have been carried out with the "tacit complicity" of Delhi police. The petition asked the court to issue direction to the Delhi Police and the Union Ministry of Home Affairs for ensuring the security of the Chief Minister and his residence. The Delhi HC noted that the security was not adequate to control the crowd, and sought a status report of the police investigation into the incident within two weeks time.[6]

Delhi police have arrested 8 members of BJYM in the incident. A local court remanded all the arrested men into judicial custody. According to the police all the 20 accused identified were BJYM members.
