As soon as he hurled the shoe, he was overpowered by unidentified men and slapped. He was then taken away by the police and questioned before being arrested. In January, a woman named Bhawna Arora had thrown ink on the chief minister alleging the odd-even scheme was implemented as part of a "CNG scam."

Mr Kejriwal and Delhi's transport minister Gopal Rai were addressing a press conference on the odd-even scheme for cars in Delhi that kicks in from April 15. After the man was whisked away, they continued giving details of the scheme which will be enforced for a second time in Delhi.
