Clarification
Sharma clarifies weapon possession, addresses law and order concerns
"That was my rifle, I often travel with it," Sharma told The Indian Express.
Talking about law and order in his constituency, he said there are no issues now. Crime incidents were common because of its proximity to UP, but the situation has improved drastically, he added.
Police said the masked men were after Rajawat for an alleged debt. Earlier, too, in January 2025, they had tried to abduct him.
