The police put up barricades outside the AAP office at DDU Marg, which is a short distance from the Rouse Avenue court.

Delhi Police have also deployed a huge number of personnel outside the BJP headquarters after a call was issued by AAP to protest against Singh's arrest outside the headquarters.
