Slipper Hurled at MP Pappu Yadav; Opposition Condemns Security Lapse

Independent MP Pappu Yadav was targeted by an intruder who hurled a slipper at him during a press conference at his New Delhi residence on August 2, 2026.

The assailant, identified as Sumit from Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, was detained by police, while Yadav alleged a broader conspiracy to kill him following his questions regarding missing temple donations.

Opposition leaders, including Congress MP Pawan Khera, slammed the Delhi Police for failing to protect a sitting parliamentarian, despite prior warnings about potential threats to his safety.
