New Delhi, Jan 19: Intelligence agencies have alerted police authorities about a possible attempt to

Aam Aadmi Party (

) leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the Indian Mujahideen (IM) to free one of its founder Yasin Bhatkal who was arrested last August. The Additional Commissioner of Police (Delhi) has reportedly sought a meeting with the chief minister to discuss his security arrangements.

Kejriwal has repeatedly turned down offers from the police not once but four times. Earlier this month, he turned down the offer of the Uttar Pradesh government to provide him with the security level of the highest level after the AAP's office in Kaushambi in Ghaziabad in UP was vandalised by a right-wing outfit.
