New Delhi, January 14: A man was arrested on Saturday after he tried to throw black ink at yoga guru Baba Ramdev during a press conference.
The ink fell on Ramdev’s clothes, TV visuals showed.
Reports said the man, believed to be 35-36 years old, was nabbed by Ramdev’s supporters and badly beaten up before being handed over to the police.
The police escorted the man from the venue of the press conference.
Ramdev was talking about his future moves against corruption and black money at the press conference held at the Constitutional Club.
Ramdev, who immediately left the venue after the incident, said he had asked for the black money being returned to the country and instead got black ink.
“What have I done to deserve this?” he asked.
“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 later.
“This incident wont’ affect me. We will continue to fight against the odds, come what may,” he added.
