Firing at Haryana Congress MLA Balram Dangi’s Meham office

Four rounds were fired at the closed office of Haryana Congress MLA Balram Dangi in Meham early Saturday morning. The incident occurred around 1 a.m., when the premises were unoccupied. No individuals were present at the time, and there were no immediate reports of injuries or casualties.

Local police arrived shortly after the shots were heard and began a preliminary investigation. Officers collected the CCTV footage from the building’s surveillance system, which captured a motorcycle carrying two individuals approaching the office before the firing took place. The footage is now being reviewed in an effort to identify the attackers and their vehicle.

The Meham office serves as a local hub for the Congress party’s activities in the region. Its closure at the time of the incident prevented any direct confrontation with party workers or supporters. The shooting adds to a growing pattern of political violence in the state, though the specific motive behind this attack remains unclear.

Police officials have not released details about the identity of the suspects or any possible links to broader political disputes. A senior police officer stated that the investigation is ongoing and that the CCTV evidence will be crucial in determining the circumstances surrounding the firing.

The incident has drawn attention from regional political circles, with several party leaders expressing concern over the safety of public officials and the broader implications for democratic processes. However, no official statements from the Congress party or rival political groups have been confirmed at this stage.

Authorities have urged anyone with information about the motorcycle or the individuals involved to come forward. The case is being treated as a serious criminal act, and the police have promised to take appropriate action once the suspects are identified.

The episode underscores the challenges faced by elected representatives in maintaining personal security while carrying out public duties. As the investigation proceeds, the incident is likely to influence discussions about law‑and‑order measures in the area.

For now, the focus remains on the forensic analysis of the video footage and the continued search for the motorcycle‑borne attackers. The police have assured the public that they are committed to achieving a swift resolution.
