AAP MP Sanjay Singh claimed that this supposed conspiracy was being directed from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
"The BJP is now plotting to launch a deadly attack on Arvind Kejriwal. This conspiracy is being conducted directly from the Prime Minister's Office," Singh stated.
Inaction query

She pointed out that these metro stations are under constant surveillance with CCTV cameras and round-the-clock security personnel.
"These stations are under CCTVs and security personnel are posted round-the-clock. Why are the police not acting on it? Where is the Cyber Cell?" Atishi questioned.
