“Police has badly beaten up AAP volunteer Pawan Pande in parliament street lock up. Police is taking orders from Modi?” he tweeted.
As Arvind Kejriwal embarked on his four-day tour to verify Modi's claims of providing water, power, education and healthcare to people of Gujarat, Kejriwal was taken to Radhanpur police station in north Gujarat and allowed to go after half an hour.
AAP's state convener Sukhdev Patel claimed that Kejriwal was detained but police denied it saying they had only “briefed” Kejriwal on the Model Code of Conduct which came into force today with the declaration of poll schedule.
Kejriwal's detention however, resulted in protest by AAP workers outside BJP office, which turned violent as both sides attacked each other in Delhi, Lucknow and Gujarat.
