Attack on Delhi Chief Minister's house
On 30 March 2022, the official residence of Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi, was allegedly attacked by members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Deputy CM Manish Sisodia called the incident a conspiracy to murder Kejriwal. Tejasvi Surya, the national president of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM; the youth wing of the BJP) and a member of the Lok Sabha, had led a protest against Arvind Kejriwal with around 200 BJYM members. Several protesters were seen in CCTV footage breaking barriers in front of Kejriwal's residence and daubing red paint on the main gate. According to Delhi Police officials, the attackers also damaged a CCTV camera. Kejriwal's party, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), stated that he was not in the house at the time of the attack, but members of his family were present.
Saurabh Bhardwaj, an AAP member of the Delhi Legislative Assembly, filed a petition in the Delhi High Court seeking the formation of a special investigation team to carry out a "fair and time-bound investigation" into the incident. The petition asserted that the attack and vandalization appeared to have been carried out with the "tacit complicity" of Delhi police, and asked the court to issue directions to the Delhi Police and the Union Ministry of Home Affairs for ensuring the security of the chief minister and his residence. The court noted that the security was inadequate to control the crowd, and sought a status report of the police investigation into the incident within two weeks' time.
Delhi Police arrested eight members of BJYM in connection with the incident. A local court remanded all the arrested men into judicial custody. According to the police, all the 20 accused identified were BJYM members.
Attack on International Students
On 10 February 2026 activists of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) vandalised a Bangladesh-themed food stall and set fire to the country's national flag during a cultural programme at MIT World Peace University in Pune. The incident occurred in the evening at the university's Kothrud campus during the World Cultural Festival, where international students had set up food stalls representing different countries. BJYM's Pune city president, Dushyant Mohol, claimed the incident followed a dispute over the display of the Bangladesh flag. A video showing the vandalism and flag burning, accompanied by slogans, later went viral on social media.
