A slipper was thrown at Indian MP Pappu Yadav in an incident linked to his Parliament protest over alleged theft of donations at the Ram temple. The attack came amid backlash over Yadav's protest, which included a skit about the alleged donation theft.
Police detained suspects after the incident, but reports differ on how many people were held. Hindustan Times reported two people were detained after a scuffle, while The Hindu said one resident of Uttar Pradesh was detained.
Yadav alleged a conspiracy to kill him, according to The Hindu. The MP's protest had drawn criticism for its portrayal of the temple donation controversy. Authorities have not yet announced formal charges against those detained.
