Even as prohibitory orders under Section 144 CrPC were imposed in the New Delhi district, Kejriwal and his team decided to go ahead with the dharna seeking suspension of four Delhi police personnel.
Kejriwal has demanded action against the policemen who allegedly refused to cooperate with Law Minister Somnath Bharti in cracking down on a suspected drug and prostitution racket in south Delhi.
Kejriwal and his ministerial colleagues, who reached Rail Bhawan around 11.20 AM, were not allowed to alight from their cars and proceed towards the Home Minister's office.
"Whosoever comes to protest, if section 144 is invoked, he will be stopped. At the moment, he (Kejriwal) has been stopped," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) S B S Tyagi.
