Congress MLA Abhay Mishra attacked in Bhopal with stones

On the night of Saturday to Sunday, Congress MLA Abhay Mishra experienced an attack on his vehicle while returning from Chhindwara. The incident occurred around 12:30 am in the Char Imli area, a locality known for housing senior bureaucrats and ministers. Miscreants threw stones at his car, resulting in significant damage to the windshield and minor injuries from glass particles hitting his face. The MLA's driver and staff attempted to report the incident at the Habibganj police station but were redirected to the TT Nagar police station, creating confusion and delays in addressing the situation. After reaching out to Commissioner of Police Harinarayanchari Mishra, the MLA received prompt assistance, leading to a police response to assess the situation. The TT Nagar police station in-charge, Sunil Bhadoria, confirmed that patrol teams were dispatched immediately upon receiving the report. Despite the attack, MLA Mishra expressed reluctance to file a formal complaint or FIR, instead requesting appropriate action against the individuals responsible for the stone pelting. The police have initiated an investigation to identify the culprits involved in the attack. The incident raises concerns about the safety of public officials and the need for enhanced security measures in areas where such attacks can occur. The MLA's experience highlights the challenges faced by politicians in maintaining their safety while performing their duties. This incident not only underscores the potential risks associated with political life but also reflects the broader issues of law and order in the region. The response from law enforcement, particularly the intervention by the Commissioner of Police, demonstrates the importance of swift action in addressing public safety concerns.
