There was chaos at the Churchgate station in Mumbai on Wednesday after Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal decided to take the local train. AAP supporters have reportedly damaged metal detectors at the Churchgate station.

While many commuters complained of inconvenience, the AAP workers said that the metal workers were not working.

But even as Kejriwal took the local train, he took it in a not so 'aam aadmi' way. It was a special local train arranged only for him and was empty.

Kejriwal took an autorickshaw ride from the airport to the Andheri station to board a local train for Churchgate.

He will hold two road shows later in the day. The AAP will also hold an internal party meeting at noon.

The Mumbai Police, gearing up for the mega AAP show, has provided Kejriwal Z category security. Government Railways Police is taking responsibility for Kejriwal's security as he takes the local train.

An estimated 150 policemen and three ACPs have been stationed in South Mumbai.
