The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers staged a protest in front of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence on Saturday against the Aam Aadmi Party Government's proposal to provide hi-tech spying equipment to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).

The AAP Government had yesterday sparked a new line of controversy by passing an order providing hi-tech spying equipment to the ACB.
