A Delhi court on Tuesday dismissed the bail plea of Bhavna Arora, the woman, who threw ink at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during a public meeting at the Chhatrasal Stadium on Sunday, and sent her to 14-day judicial custody by the court.

"She didn't get justice from this court and we will go to the session's court. We believe that from the higher court she will get justice. Bhavna is a victim of politics. People of Delhi are with her. We will continue our fight," complainant lawyer CL Gupta said.

Bhavna, the Aam Aadmi Sena in-charge of Punjab, claimed that she has got proof that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government is involved in a CNG scam.

She told reporters that she possesses a CD pertaining to the alleged CNG scam.

The incident took place when Kejriwal was expressing his gratitude to the people of Delhi for making the odd-even formula a success.

The woman rushed close to the dais and threw ink at Kejriwal. She was immediately apprehended by the police. However, the Chief Minister told the cops to leave her.

The event was organised by the AAP Government to thank the people of Delhi for making the odd-even experiment, which ended on January 15, a success.
