With the arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, chaos unfolded in National Capital.
Delhi Police put a two-tier security ring in place and used drones for surveillance at the residence of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday night.
Around a dozen Aam Aadmi Party workers, including MLA Rakhi Birla, were briefly detained from outside Kejriwal’s home in Civil Lines after they engaged in sloganeering and tried to create a ruckus, police said, adding that they were let off later at night.
The cops are anticipating large-scale protests at several places by AAP workers on Friday. Police have stepped up security outside the ED offices at Akbar Road and APJ Abdul Kalam Road. The cops will also throw in multi-layer security when Kejriwal is likely to be produced in court on Friday afternoon. “If protests break out, ED may take a call on insisting on production via videoconferencing,” a senior cop said.
Prohibitory orders under Section 144 of CrPC may be imposed in different areas of the city on Friday.
