AAP workers stage protest outside BJP headquarter in Delhi

AAP workers on Wednesday (March 5) fought pitched battles with BJP activists outside the saffron party headquarters in New Delhi hours after former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was detained briefly in Gujarat. Scores of AAP workers stormed the BJP head office on Ashoka Road in the heart of the capital protesting against Kejriwal's detention in Radhanpur in North Gujarat where he has gone on a four-day visit to "inspect" development that has been claimed by Chief Minister Narendra Modi. They shouted slogans against Modi saying he was "scared" by Kejriwal's visit and was using the police against him. Soon both sides were engaged in pelting of stones alleging that the other side started it. Police which reached the spot sought to disperse the crowd by using water canons. Plastic chairs were also hurled from inside the BJP office on the crowds outside. The scene outside the BJP office looked a veritable battle scene with activists of both sides pelting stones and other missiles at each other. At least five people from either side were injured, police said. An FIR will be filed in the case. Nalin Kohli, a BJP office bearer, accused AAP leader Ashutosh, a candidate in Chandni Chowk Lok Sabha constituency, of engineering the trouble and demanded his arrest.For More information on this news visit : http://www.newsx.com/Connect with us on Social platform at : http://www.facebook.com/newsxonlineSubscribe to our YouTube Channel : http://www.youtube.com/newsxlive
