New Delhi: Taking a lesson from the recent ink attack on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi Police today did not allow fountain pens at a Republic Day event as a preventive measure.
In a January 17 incident, a young woman had thrown ink on Mr Kejriwal at a public function due to which court had also criticised the Delhi Police, saying the incident was a "clear-cut case of security lapse" and the force did not behave responsibly in protecting him.
A Republic Day celebration was organised at Chhatrasal Stadium in north Delhi where the Delhi Chief Minister was a chief guest.
"We are not allowing any fountain pens inside. If anybody is found to be carrying one during frisking he or she will be asked to leave it outside," a security personnel said.
The ruling Aam Aadmi Party had launched a scathing attack against the Delhi Police accusing it of security lapses over the ink attack on the Chief Minister.
Later, Police Commissioner BS Bassi had rubbished the AAP's 'security lapse' allegations.
