Video: Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari's house ransacked, claims life threat
New Delhi: Police on Monday arrested two men after they allegedly barged into Delhi BJP chief and MP Manoj Tiwari's residence and roughed up two of his staff members.
The two men -- who are brothers -- were travelling in a car which bumped into a vehicle driven by one of Tiwari's staffers just outside the MP's house in Lutyens's Delhi at around 1.30 AM.
The brothers called their friends who arrived armed with rods in a tempo and thrashed the MP's staff, a Tiwari aide said.
They then entered his residence through a gate meant for public entry and tried to ransack the premises, a senior police officer said.
Soon after the incident, Tiwari tweeted, "My residence at 159 North Avenue has been ransacked by 8 to 9 people."
Tiwari's aides claimed that the group of men also abused them while demanding to see Tiwari. The incident was caught on the CCTV.

It is learnt that the BJP MP was not at home when the incident took place. "This is a very big threat. It was an attack on my life. Two of our staff members are injured. Their intentions were very dangerous. Looks like a big conspiracy, that too with police involvement. No one should be spared," Tiwari said after the incident.
"They were carrying rods. Even a policeman was visible in the CCTV footage, with these people. As per the information I have got they were looking for me. I am not aware of the entire incident we are looking the CCTV footage," Tiwari said.
Earlier in February, Tiwari's car was attacked by few unidentified men in Mumbai and was warned to stay away from campaigning for BMC polls in Mumbai.
