Kejriwal's family normally keeps a low profile. His daughter, however, was in news when she cleared the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) entrance test in 2014. She pursued an engineering course there.
This is not the first time the safety of Kejriwal's children have come under threat. In 2015, a twitter user had offered a reward of Rs 1 lakhs and a new bike to rape the Delhi CM's daughter.
Kejriwal himself has come under attacks and attempted attacks many times.?
Last November, in a major security lapse, a man had attacked the Chief Minister with chilli powder inside the Delhi Secretariat.
