In a shocking incident, Delhi CM and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal's iconic blue Wagon- R car has been stolen. Currently, an AAP volunteer Vandana belonging to party's media cell was using the car, according to DCP(Central Delhi). The car has been stolen from near the Delhi Secretariat. The incident happened just before noon and was reported to the police around 1 pm. A formal complaint regarding car stealing has been filed with the IP Estate police station and police have lodged an FIR.
Delhi CM had received the car as a gift from Kundan Sharma,a software engineer. However he wanted it back later, post the bitter AAP split AAP's Haryana convenor Naveen Jaihind has announced an undisclosed amount as reward for whoever finds the vehicle.
Jaihind had sought the "lucky car" for his campaigning when he contested the 2014 Lok Sabha poll from Rohtak. I want this car back. There are a lot of emotions, memories attached to it. Whoever returns the car, I will give him a suitable reward, which will be much more than what he will get from selling the car," Jaihind said.
Even after Kejriwal became the chief minister in December 2013, he refused to use an official car and preferred his old Wagon-R. AAP volunteers recall the blue car which had rust and dents on it, giving refuge to a sick Kejriwal, suffering from severe cough and cold on a nippy January night in 2014, when he staged a 'dharna' outside the Rail Bhawan against the Delhi Police.
Hitting out at Lt Governor Anil Baijal, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said the stealing of the chief minister's car reflects the state of poor law and order in the city. Police were scanning CCTV footage to ascertain the number of people who were involved in the incident. So far, they have not found any leads.
