Investigation continues as Delhi police detain Sumit, alleged assailant of independent MP Pappu Yadav

Delhi police have placed Sumit, a 34‑year‑old scrap worker from Bulandshahr, under custody following his alleged assault on MP Pappu Yadav. Sumit reportedly entered Yadav's residence under the pretext of a meeting, after searching online for the MP's location. Authorities say he has no previous criminal record, and a thorough interrogation is underway to uncover the motivations behind the alleged attack. Meanwhile, the police continue to locate Happy, who was present at the scene when a slipper was thrown at the MP.
