Indian Consul-General Shashank Vikram Robbed by 8 armed men, held his 5-year-old son at gunpoint in Durban!

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”] 

It came out as a shocker to one and all that the Consul General Shashank Vikram, who was robbed by 8 armed men and also held his 5-year-old son at gunpoint shows clear security lapse. The Incident happened on Thursday came to limelight when the Indian government on Sunday took the matter to authorities in South Africa, stating that the safety and security of Indian diplomats/officials designated abroad and their families are of highest priority.

In spite of all protection given by the South African Police Services, VIP unit, a private guard company and armed response provider, the envoy’s residence, Indian House, in the Morningside area of the city, was breached, said the local reports.

Breaking open into the house by attacking the guard, around 4 pm local time, the robbers gave a 10-minute ordeal to Vikram’s wife, Megha Singh and their two young children who were home at that time, terrifying all of them. It looks like they held the five-year-old son of the general hostage as they demanded money and gold from Mrs. Singh.

Mrs. Singh pressed the alarm running to the main bedroom and called her husband. The robbers fled taking a cellphone and a few other small items, while Vikram rushed home even before security officers could reach the spot and took the surveillance camera footage.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj called on Vikram and inquired about his family.

After the 2014 elections, there hasn’t been a good rapport between the TDP=BJP alliance. Right from the PM Modi, everyone in BJP seemed like causing trouble to TDP party all through this while. Though many BJP leaders have condemned the governance, the CM had no other option but to maintain peace. It is learned that the TDP leaders have been pressuring on the CM to break the alliance and go ahead all alone in the 2019 Assembly elections. ‘Many party leaders are cautious about the BJP’s activities towards the YSRCP. And moreover post the demonetization and GST, there has been an uproar in the anti-Modi wave,’ said a TDP party member.

Chandrababu Naidu who has been criticized heavily for his ‘Operation Akarsh’ by the YSRCP is likely to use the same mechanism against a BJP leader.

The CM is thinking to make Moreppa contest the elections on behalf of TDP from Kurnool District.

If this takes place, it would surely be a big shocker to BJP. Chandrababu has been often termed as ‘defensive’ in his approach to BJP. But this move likely reminds how offensive he can get if required.
