Scuffle at Pappu Yadav's Delhi Residence Leads to FIR, Accused DetainedPreviousNext

A scuffle occurred at Independent MP Pappu Yadav's Delhi residence during a press conference when two men confronted him over remarks perceived as insulting to Hindu sentiments. One man allegedly threw a slipper, and supporters claimed the attackers carried a knife, which the accused denied. The men, identified as local BJP functionaries from Uttar Pradesh, were detained by police, who have registered an FIR. Yadav alleged a conspiracy and assassination attempt linked to his recent protest over alleged Ram Temple donation theft, while the accused said they only sought to question him. Investigations continue amid political tensions.
