Reports said the incident took place at 11 pm at a farm house in the Mehrauli area, where Tytler had gone to attend the wedding.
“The Congress leader was leaving the wedding ceremony when the incident happened. A youth named Sehaj Umang Singh started abusing Tytler and then tried to throw a glass at him. However, the leader escaped unhurt,” a police official revealed.

Following the attack, the man was caught and handed him over to the police. He was detained, and later let off after a brief interrogation.
"It's ridiculous that in a country like ours somebody who has killed 3000 ppl can roam around free having fun. And if I speak my heart out in public I have to be reprimanded and taken to the police," said the attacker - Sehaj Umang Singh Bhatia.
Tytler is accused of being one of the stalwarts of the 1984 riots which brutally massacred thousands of Sikhs in the aftermath of PM Indira Gandhi's assasination on October 31,1984.
Last week, CBI’s closure report on Tytler in the case was rejected by court which asked the agency for further investigation.
