Mr Kejriwal wants the union Home Ministry to suspend three police officers who refused to make a series of arrests ordered by his ministers.
Mr Kejriwal, 45, said he will not wait for the results of an enquiry, ordered by the Home Ministry, to determine if the police officers were following the law, as alleged by the police chief, or whether they abdicated responsibility.

"I want everyone to come and join us for this protest," said Mr Kejriwal, over-riding a tweet last night in which he urged the public not to join him in his demonstration because it would interfere with arrangements being made for Republic Day celebrations on Sunday. (Watch)
His impromptu speech was delivered after he was stopped by the police from heading to the Home Ministry where he planned a sit-in protest against its chief, Sushil Kumar Shinde. ('Have come prepared for a 10-day dharna': Law Minister Somnath Bharti to NDTV)
