MP Pappu Yadav attacked at home during presser
Independent MP Pappu Yadav was attacked during a press conference at his New Delhi residence; a man threw a slipper and another brandished a knife.
The suspects, identified as Sumit (34) and Happy Sharma from Bulandshahr, UP, were detained; police found a knife in Sumit's possession.
The attack is believed to be linked to Yadav's recent skit outside Parliament over alleged donation theft at the Ayodhya Ram temple.
Yadav's legal team said he had received death threats and requested enhanced security, but only three police personnel were deployed.
Yadav's media convener, Zaid, claimed he was beaten while shielding the MP from the attacker.
