An unidentified miscreant on Tuesday threw eggs and a stone at Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal at a rally in Sultanpur Majra Assembly constituency in North West Delhi. Kejriwal was unhurt in the incident.

According to a party volunteer, while the AAP chief was holding his third jan sabha at Jalebi Chowk in Sultanpur Majra, an unidentified person threw eggs and a stone at the rally and fled. The eggs and stone did not hit Mr Kejriwal, but fell near the podium from where Kejriwal was addressing.

This is the second attack on the former Delhi chief minister in Sultanpur Majra. While campaigning for Rakhi Birla, AAP's Lok Sabha candidate for North West Delhi, Kejriwal was hit by an auto driver.

Kejriwal was attacked last month while addressing a rally at Deoli, when he was addressing a jan sabha for party candidate Prakash Jarwal, for the second time in the same area.

Earlier when he was campaigning in South Delhi for party candidate Devendra Sehrawat, he was attacked at the same place.
