Live Bullets found with a person coming to meet CM Kejriwal

NP NEWS 24 ONLINE – A 39-year-old man who had gone to meet Arvind Kejriwal as part of a delegation of clerics on Monday was arrested after live bullets were found on him. This is the second security incident involving the Delhi Chief Minister after a chilli powder attack on him last week.

“A man was arrested under The Arms Act after a live bullet was seized from him during checking when he went to visit CM Kejriwal yesterday morning. He was among the Muslim clerics who had gone to the CM with a request to increase the salary by Waqf Board,” Delhi Police said.

Delhi police said the cleric told police that he found the bullets in the donation of a mosque, kept it in his wallet and later forgot about it.

Mohammad Imran, a caretaker of a mosque in Karol Bagh and resident of Seelampur locality, was arrested when he was going to attend a Janta Darbar (public meeting) at the chief minister’s residence on Monday, they said.

Last Thursday, a man was arrested after he flung chilli powder at Mr Kejriwal right outside his office – an incident that raised questions about the Chief Minister’s security and provoked allegations from the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) that their chief was being targeted.

AAP had claimed that Sharma was a BJP worker and had a history of hurling abuses on Kejriwal through his Facebook posts. The party alleged also that the BJP top leadership had knowledge of the attack and the party wants the latter eliminated to stop him from working for the people.
