Security beefed up outside Rahul Gandhi's residence after intel alert
New Delhi: The Delhi Police have strengthened security measures outside Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's house following intelligence inputs suggesting potential threats from right-wing groups. A platoon of paramilitary personnel and multiple teams from the New Delhi district police have been deployed outside his residence.
This heightened security comes after Rahul Gandhi's maiden speech in Lok Sabha as the Leader of Opposition, where he criticized the BJP and sparked a backlash from party leaders. The speech, which lasted about 100 minutes, had some parts expunged by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, including references to Hinduism, industrialists, and the Agnipath scheme.
The increased security measures were put in place during the afternoon hours yesterday, after a tip-off was received regarding a possible disturbance in the area. Senior police officers confirmed the development.

NEET student hangs self in Rajasthan's Sikar
Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
