New Delhi: Two Aam Aadmi Party volunteers were allegedly assaulted on Friday by unidentified assailants in Bijwasan area of south Delhi when they had gone there to carry out a membership drive, police said.
The AAP volunteers - Shekhar and Ghulab - alleged that they had been trashed by BJP workers.
Police have, however, registered a case against unknown persons.
"The incident took place around 10 am. The complainants have told us that they were beaten up with sticks by around a dozen people during a membership drive in Bijwasan area," a police officer said.
The injured were rushed to the Safdurjung Hospital from where they have been discharged.
