Thief attempts to attack Gujarat MP at his Delhi residence

A thief attacked Gujarat’s Sabarkantha MP Mahendra Singh Chauhan’s residence yesterday evening and escaped after trying to hurt him.

The incident happened at seven in the evening at Chauhan’s official residence in Delhi allotted to him.

Following this incident a delegation of MPs met Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar in New Delhi on Wednesday.

“The houses allotted to MPs don’t have proper security and in this regard we met the Speaker and requested her to provide security to us… MPs also face the threat to their life and property,” BJP MP Arjunram Meghwal told reporters after meeting the Speaker.

Meghwal said seven days back, thieves had struck at the house of Assam MP Vidhyadhar Chakravarthy and similar thefts have been carried out by them at MPs C R Patil, Harish Chaudhary and Nan Patil in the recent past.
