The man accused of slapping Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has been sent to two-day judicial custody. ANI reported that Suresh, the accused, has been charged under section 107/51 of the CrPC by the Delhi Police.
Arvind Kejriwal was slapped on Saturday during a road show in New Delhi. The road show was held in Motoi Nagar locality in New Delhi.

This is not the first Arvind Kejriwal was at a receiving end of a slap.
In 2016, a man had thrown a shoe at Kejriwal. Around the same time, a woman had also thrown ink on him at a “thanksgiving” gathering at Chhatrasal Stadium.
In 2014, Kejriwal was slapped by an auto-rickshaw driver during a roadshow in Sultanpuri area of North West Delhi.
