New Delhi, Nov 20 (IANS) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was on Tuesday attacked by a middle-aged man with chilly powder inside the Delhi Secretariat.
The man was waiting outside the Chief Minister’s office and attacked him when Kejriwal stepped out, AAP spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj told IANS. “Kejriwal’s eyes were not affected in the attack as he was wearing spectacles.”
