In a shocking incident that has raised alarms over safety in the capital, Congress MP R Sudha was attacked and robbed during her morning walk in Delhi's high-security Chanakyapuri area. The brazen daylight crime has sparked fierce debate and criticism over the capital's law enforcement effectiveness.

A motorcycle-borne assailant not only snatched Sudha's gold chain but also tore her clothes. Despite her calls for help and the presence of a patrol vehicle nearby, she received no immediate aid. This failure in response exacerbated the outcry among opposition MPs, demanding accountability from the Union Home Ministry.

The incident has brought women's safety to the forefront, with notable remarks from Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi questioning the expectations of safety in the supposedly secure diplomatic enclave. The opposition has called out the central government for the deteriorating state of law and order, demanding urgent corrective measures.
