New Delhi: A former BJP worker from Maharashtra, Nachiketa Vaghrekar, today threw ink at Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal and his associate Manish Sisodia at a press conference here. He was immediately taken into



Hazare had earlier written to Kejriwal after receiving complaints that money for the Lokpal Andolan held in 2011 was being used by Kejriwal to fund the AAP election campaign.

Kejriwal said he has already informed Anna he did not spend any Lokpal Andolan money to fund campaign and is ready to be probed to prove his innocence.

"I would request Annaji to conduct a through probe by anyone he wants like Justice (retd) Santosh Hedge or anyone else and the report should be made public within 48 hours, so neither Congress nor BJP could raise suspicion over funds," Kejriwal said, adding "if I am found guilty I would not contest elections".

"But if I come clean, then Anna Hazare will have to come and campaign for our party," he said.

After the heckling incident, Kejriwal said he has no ill will against Nachiket. "I forgive Nachiketa. I have no ill will against him," Kejriwal tweeted.
