Activists led by Delhi BJP women's wing president Kamaljeet Sehrawat and party spokesman Praveen Kapoor raised slogans and waved bangles towards Kejriwal, who arrived at platform number 1 at New Delhi railway station to board a train for Punjab at around 7 AM.
The party alleged the Delhi Police officials present at the venue watched the incident as it unfolded without making any attempts to prevent it.
"The Delhi Police had planted news across sections of the media that it was not going to provide security to the CM during his 5-day visit to Punjab.
Senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh alleged that the police first informed the BJP that Kejriwal would not be given any security cover and then got the Chief Minister attacked.
"Is Modi ji conspiring with the Delhi Police and the BJP to attack Arvind Kejriwal? Was the morning episode (manhandling of the CM) a rehearsal to it," Sisodia tweeted.
"Modi ji's Police first told the BJP (about its inability) to provide security cover and then got Arvind Kejriwal attacked. Is any conspiracy brewing against the Chief Minister," Singh tweeted.
The party also questioned how did BJP activists know minute details of Kejriwal's itinerary and why did the Delhi Police officials behave like mute spectators?
"The most shocking part in this episode has been that the Delhi Police did not act to protect the CM despite express concerns conveyed by the CM's office and the Chief Secretary's office to the Delhi Police after the word was out that the CM would not have protection," the party alleged.
