Kejriwal, who heads a minority Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, had announced a regular "Janata Darbar" -- with his assured presence on Saturdays -- so that people feel closer to the administration.
Saturday's session was originally to last for roughly two hours. But it suffered premature convulsions.
Kejriwal attended the session for about 45 minutes after which a harried Delhi Police -- worried that he might get crushed by the surging crowds -- escorted him into the secretariat building.
