Singh alleged that the attack was linked to his stand against an alleged scam involving the Ram temple Trust in buying a piece of land for the temple in Ayodhya at an inflated price. In a press conference on Sunday, Singh had sought a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) into the matter.

After Tuesday’s attack, Singh said, “I will not be scared and I shall continue exposing this scam being done in the name of prabhu Sri Ram (a Hindu deity).”

Deputy commissioner of police (New Delhi) Deepak Yadav said that an attempt was made to deface the MP’s name plate at his residence. “Two persons have been detained in this regard. No physical injury has been caused to anyone. Further investigation is on,” he said.
