Drug Addict Trespasses Into Jammu Residence of CM Omar Abdullah
· India · Indian Express, Hindustan Times, News18
A 21-year-old man from Reasi allegedly trespassed into the official residence of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wazarat Road in Jammu in broad daylight. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was in Delhi at the time meeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah to discuss statehood restoration, business transaction rules, and reservation rationalisation. Preliminary police assessments indicate the intruder is a drug addict with no terror links or ill intent, and he was released on bail following interrogation by the Special Security Group and Gujjar Nagar police. National Conference leaders highlighted the incident as evidence of security lapses by agencies under Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, pointing to previous threats including an assassination attempt on former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah in March. The security breach has intensified political friction between the elected government and security administration regarding official protection protocols in Jammu and Kashmir.
