Days after highlighting "corruption" in the purchase of land in Ayodhya by the Ram Temple Trust, AAP's Rajya Sabha floor leader Sanjay Singh on Tuesday said his house in the national capital near Rashtrapati Bhavan was "attacked" and his nameplate was blackened by BJP supporters.

The nameplate at the 129, North Avenue residence, located very close to Rashtrapati Bhavan, was blackened by two persons who also tried to forcibly enter the premises after raising slogans.

"My house has been attacked. Listen carefully, BJP supporters, no matter how much hooliganism you indulge in, I will not allow the funds collected for constructing the Ram temple to be stolen even if I am killed," Singh said on Twitter soon after the incident.

He said the incident took place at his residence which is "just 100 metres away from the Rashtrapati Bhavan".

"I want to tell the BJP government that I will repeat what I have said about the corruption in the land deal by Ram Temple Trust even if there are more attacks," he told reporters.

A senior police official said two persons were taken into custody in connection with the incident. No one was injured in the incident.

"An attempt was made to deface the nameplate at the residence of Sanjay Singh, MP. Two persons have been detained in this regard. No physical injury has been caused to anyone. Further investigation is on," Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) Deepak Yadav tweeted.

Singh had alleged that Shriram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust General Secretary Champat Rai had purchased 1.208 hectares of land worth Rs 2 crore in Ayodhya's Bag Bjaisi village for Rs 18.5 crore with the help of trust member Anil Mishra.

It was purchased from people who had brought it for Rs 2 crore just minutes before, he alleged while demanding a CBI and Enforcement Directorate probe into the incident. The Trust has denied the allegation.
