 "Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari's bungalow attacked; cops arrest 2 suspects but rule out political angle")
Days after leading BJP to an emphatic victory in the MCD Elections, Delhi BJP unit chief and MP Manoj Tiwari’s bungalow was ransacked by unidentified people late on Sunday. The police have arrested two suspects in connection to the case, which looks like that of road rage. However, earlier media reports suggested four arrests in the case. According to the police, the incident occurred around 1.15 a.m. following a car accident in which one of Tiwari’s staff-member was involved. After a heated exchange, occupants of the other vehicle forcibly entered Tiwari’s North Avenue residence and thrashed his cook and personal staff. The police officials said that the attackers were also from the same neighbourhood and they had called in some of their friends to aid in their attack. “We have arrested two persons and a case has been lodged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC),” Delhi Police spokesperson Madhur Verma told IANS. The sections include trespassing, voluntarily causing hurt, criminal intimidation and acts of common intent. The officer also said that there was no political angle in the incident.
