"When Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was coming out of his chamber, Sharma tried to hand over his complaint to him. Kejriwal later passed his complaint copy to a staff member. In the meantime, Sharma bowed down to touch Kejriwal's feet, he suddenly attempted charging chief minister but it was swiftly foiled by security staff of Delhi Police", the joint Commissioner added. The CCTV footage shows that Sharma tried to touch Kejriwal's feet and tried to attack on his face but Chief Minister security staff caught hold on him.
