A group of five men posted posters outside the residence of AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi in Central Delhi on Thursday evening, demanding his suspension from the Lok Sabha, officials reported.
According to a police officer, four men reached Owaisi's 34 Ashoka Road residence and affixed three posters at the entry gate and wall around 9 pm.
The posters bore messages like 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai', 'I stand with Israel', and called for Owaisi's suspension.
A purported video of the incident surfaced online in which one of the miscreants said that the youth of the country should unite against the politician who does not say "bharat mata ki jai".
The Delhi Police intervened and removed the posters after the men had left, an officer said.
"We are trying to identify the people and legal action will be taken against them," a police officer said.
Earlier this week, controversy arose when Owaisi's proclamation of "Jai Palestine" during his oath-taking as a Lok Sabha MP sparked disagreement among BJP MPs.
"Some 'unknown miscreants' vandalised my house with black ink today. I have now lost count the number of times my Delhi residence has been targeted. When I asked @DelhiPolice officials how this was happening right under their nose, they expressed helplessness," Owaisi wrote on X.
Tagging Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Owaisi wrote, "this is happening under your oversight. Please tell us if MPs' safety will be guaranteed or not".
"To the two-bit goons who keep targeting my house: this does not scare me. Stop this Savarkar-type cowardly behaviour and be men enough to face me. Do not scurry away after throwing some ink or pelting a few stones," he wrote further.
