The Delhi Police had then claimed that he was a disgruntled AAP worker, while the Aam Aadmi Party put the blame on Delhi Police and BJP.

Interesting people who tweeted the video in the last few days, have taken it from the Twitter handle of Amit Raina, who tweeted it on May 8, 2019.

Conclusion: The video was of May 2019 and had nothing to do with 2020 poll campaign. The man was thrashed for slapping Kejriwal, but not lynched (killing).
