Jung had on Saturday asked Sisodia to cut short his trip to Finland and immediately return to Delhi in view of the outbreak of chikungunya and dengue which trigged further tussle between the Kejriwal government and the LG office.

Brijesh Shukla threw ink at Sisodia which splattered across his arms and on a portion of his forehead. Sisodia said the ink attack on him was reflection of the "dirty politics of Congress and BJP".

Shukla, a resident of north east Delhi's Karawal Nagar, has been detained by police. He said he was angry with the Deputy Chief Minister for visting Finland at a time when the city was grappling with rising cases of chikungunya and dengue.
