Earlier on Thursday, the Delhi Police had said that it had made all appropriate security arrangements to escort Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at the Delhi railway station where he was allegedly heckled by BJP women activists in the morning. 

Activists led by Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha president Kamaljeet Sehrawat on Thursday raised slogans against and waved bangles towards Kejriwal, who arrived at platform number 1 of New Delhi Railway Station to board the train for Punjab. Police said the CM was escorted safely to the train despite the protest.
