India Against Corruption claims threat to Manish Sisodia, Kumar Vishwas
New Delhi: Activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal's associates Manish Sisodia and Kumar Vishwas have alleged a threat to their lives.

India Against Corruption (IAC) on Sunday alleged that unidentified persons had entered Mr Sisodia and Mr Vishwas' homes to threaten them and their families.

The IAC said about a dozen people picketed Mr Vishwas' home for about 30 minutes on Sunday evening while he was talking to a news channel.

"I had been getting threats on the phone for some time. Around 5 pm, two men entered my house and started misbehaving. They claimed they wanted to join the IAC. I asked them to register at the IAC office. On seeing guests in the house, they left," Mr Vishwas told NDTV.

"But around 6 pm, while I was in a live discussion on a news channel, over a dozen men came in three vehicles and surrounded my house. My wife and driver shut the doors immediately," he said.

The IAC claimed some men had earlier entered Mr Sisodia's home and threatened his wife.

The IAC has filed a police complaint.
