Delhi BJP chief Manjor Tiwari's two staff members were thrashed and his house was ransacked early on Monday by 10-12 people after an alleged road rage incident involving one of his aides.
Tiwari said the "planned attack" with the involvement of police was to "threaten and terrorise" him as the assailants who came with sticks and iron rods even reached his bedroom when he was not at his at his North Avenue residence around 1.15 a.m.
Police arrested two suspects -- Jay Kumar, 38, and his brother Jaswant Singh, 33 -- who reside in the same area.
According to police, the attack followed an incident of road rage involving a Tiwari's staff member.
A police officer said the two brothers were travelling in a car that hit the vehicle driven by one of the MP's staffers just outside his house.
Tiwari made public CCTV footage showing two attackers first arguing and then beating his staff members -- cook Ashok Pathak and personal assistant Abhinav Mishra.

An official told IANS the two attackers later called in some of their friends before they barged in.
Tiwari said he was not aware of "any road rage incident but the way they (attackers) reached my bedroom and forcefully entered in is a very serious issue.
"It looks like a conspiracy and the police are involved in it. No one should be spared," Tiwari said.
He claimed that the attackers came to his bedroom searching for him.
Delhi Police Special Commissioner M.K. Meena said they have identified the attackers and arrested two of them for trespass, voluntarily causing hurt and criminal intimidation.
"If Tiwari would have been at home at the time of attack, he too would have got injured the way the attackers barged into his house and attacked his staff," Meena said.
"If required, we will provide security to Tiwari's home," Meena added.
