CNG scam behind odd-even plan, alleges Kejriwal ink attacker

Bhavna Arora has accused the Aam Aadmi Party government of being involved in a CNG scam.

New Delhi: Bhavna Arora, the woman who threw ink on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal while he was to begin his address at a rally here on Sunday, has accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of being involved in a CNG scam.

“The odd-even rule was positive, but behind that was a big CNG Scam, of which I had a sting. That is why I wanted to meet Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and Transport Minister Gopal Rai, but they didn’t agree to meet,” Bhavna Arora said.

She further stated that in the scam, CNG stickers were issued on bike numbers. "They have done scam in CNG and I have evidence to support it," the woman claimed.

“I will submit all papers and the sting before the court. Investigation should be done in the matter,” she said a day after throwing ink at the Delhi CM while he was addressing a gathering on the positive response to the odd-even rule.

The woman also blamed the party volunteers of manhandling her after the attack and thanked the Delhi Police for bringing her into safety.

Kejriwal was to begin his address at Delhi's Chhatrasal stadium when the woman breached the security and threw ink and some papers at him. She was seen being dragged out of the venue by the policemen. However, the Chief Minister told the cops to leave her. “Leave her; she is talking about some scam. Please take that paper from her she is mentioning some CNG scam,” he said.

The 26-year-old woman, who claimed to be a member of the Punjab unit of Aam Aadmi Party Sena, was later detained by police and whisked away to Model Town police station for questioning. She was released on Sunday night on a personal bail bond.
