Aam Aadmi Party’s lawmaker Alka Lamba was attacked in north Delhi’s Kashmere Gate area early on Sunday morning by unidentified persons during an anti-drug drive.
According to AAP, the drive started at 5 am; at around 6 am a man with blanket wrapped around his head approached Ms Lamba and threw stones at her.
AAP says the man was earlier seen standing close to a sweet shop owned by BJP lawmaker OP Sharma.
Ms Lamba received minor head injuries and was rushed to Aruna Asaf Ali hospital. She was released a short while later. The police has detained the man and is questioning him.
After the attack, Alka Lamba tweeted
