New Delhi, Jan 18 (IBNS) The woman who threw ink on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during a public meeting on Sunday,has been arrested, reports said.

The incident occurred at a programme, organised to mark the success of the odd-even scheme for Delhi vehicles.

The Chief Minister had started his speech to the 5,000-strong audience at a stadium in Delhi when Bhavna Arora, 26, walked towards the dais and threw , and some papers and a CD at Mr Kejriwal. She was immediately detained by the police.

The police said Bhavna Arora belongs to the "Aam Aadmi Sena" a splinter group of Aam Aadmi Party formed by party rebels.

The incident sparked an angry reaction from AAP government as Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said it was a major security lapse on the part of the Delhi Police.

"I can see a BJP conspiracy,"  Sisodia alleged, wondering what would happen if acid had been thrown instead of ink.
