NEW DELHI: A group of Hindu Sena members allegedly vandalised the house of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Ashoka Road in Lutyens’ Delhi on Tuesday. An FIR has been registered and five men have been arrested, police said.

Around 4.30pm, the men damaged the entrance, the nameplate, and a few lights and windows. Later, Hindu Sena’s Lalit Kumar claimed in a video that he and a few other members had visited Owaisi’s house to teach him a lesson “because he speaks against Hindus”.

“BJP is to be held responsible for radicalisation of people. If an MP’s house is attacked like this, what message does it convey?” Owaisi later said.
