New Delhi: Angry over
Baba Ramdev's remark that the 2008 Batla House shootout was not
fake, a man threw black ink on the face of the yoga guru during
his press conference here Saturday, police said.
The attacker, Kamran Siddiqui, was detained by the police after he
was caught and roughed up by Ramdev's supporters within the club
premises.
"When Baba said that Batla House encounter was not fake, Kamran
threw ink on him. He lives in south Delhi's Okhla area and
supposedly runs a non-government organisation Real Cause," said a
senior Delhi Police official.
In the Sep 19, 2008, Batla House shootout in Delhi, two alleged
Indian Mujahideen members and one police officer were killed in
public view. Certain local groups and some political parties,
however, alleged it was a staged shootout.
Ramdev was holding a press conference on black money and
corruption at the Constitution Club here Saturday.
Wiping the ink off his face, a nonplussed Ramdev remarked later,
"What have I done to deserve this?"
Ramdev said he had asked for the black money to be returned to the
country and instead got black ink.
"Those who fight for truth have to pay the price. We are fighting
to get black money back to the country and instead I got black
ink...What did I do to deserve this?" Ramdev said to reporters.
"This incident won't affect me. We will continue to fight against
the odds, come what may," he added.
