Police, however, said a scuffle took place between AAP and BJP supporters only after the Chief Minister's cavalcade had left the area.
"A few people got injured in the incident. An FIR was registered in connection with the matter," Circle officer of Bhelupur Rajesh Srivastava said.
Nearly 16 AAP workers, including women, were injured in an attack by BJP activists while the convoy of Delhi CM was passing, Singh told the reporters.
He said a complaint for registering a FIR has been given to the police and they are trying to ascertain the identity of the attackers.
Arvind Kejriwal was purely on a religious visit to the temple town to offer prayers and such an attack in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Parliamentary constituency is unfortunate, Singh said.
"PM Narendra Modi and BJP should feel ashamed for the attack," Singh said.
The AAP leader threatened if the Uttar Pradesh government and local police do not act against the attackers his party would launchan agitation.
