Cautious UP administration beefs up security outside neta's house

Description

Muzaffarnagar: The house of BJP lawmaker, Umesh Malik, saw a heightened security with police personnel patrolling the area to prevent any untoward incident. Malik, a resident of Jaat Colony situated near the GIC ground, was at home on Sunday morning. Several farmers on their way to the GIC ground - the venue of the 'Kisan Mahapanchayat' - were asked to take a different route. "The administration may have felt that extra police personnel should be deployed for security, so they have done it," Malik said of the security arrangement outside the house. When contacted, SSP Abhishek Yadav, said, "Umesh Malik's house is next to the GIC ground. So, we had deployed a police team in front of his house in the backdrop of the recent incident." The Budhana MLA's motorcade recently came under attack in Sisauli. It ensued a war of words between the BJP and some BKU members.
