New Delhi, Oct 13 (IANS): Two people who were absconding after accompanying a man who roughed up senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan in his Supreme Court chamber were arrested Thursday, a day after the incident, police said.

Vishnu Gupta and Tejender Pal Singh Bagga were arrested from Baba Kharak Singh Marg area of central Delhi, police said.

While the accused claim they came down to Tilak Marg police station to surrender, police said their officers saw the duo roaming around the area and arrested them.

"We have arrested both of them today (Thursday)," said Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Ombir Singh Bishnoi.

The three youths Wednesday stormed into Bhushan's chamber and one of them, identified as Inder Verma, started beating him up. Verma was later on overpowered by lawyers and others present in the room. The youths said they objected to his comments on Kashmir, Bhushan said later.

Verma, who was arrested a few hours after the incident, lives in Nangloi. He is said to be a Sri Ram Sene activist while the other two are said to be from the Bhagat Singh Sena.

TV channel TIMES NOW, which showed visuals of the incident, said its crew was with Prashant Bhushan at the time for his comments on the Lokpal bill. He is a key member of Team Anna that has been campaigning against corruption.

Bhushan had gone to Varanasi two weeks ago where during a press conference he was asked if he would favour a referendum in Kashmir. He had replied that there could be a referendum. It is this comment that angered the group, Bhushan said.
