Vimla Solanki, the MLA from the Sikandrabad assembly segment, visited Sher Mohammed’s village, Chandpura, at around 9pm yesterday, with a group of people who were bursting firecrackers.

Solanki told PTI that Sher Mohammed’s mother, Faridan, reprimanded her for the late evening visit, and asked the group to leave.

The MLA, however, said she would urge the home ministry to send a letter of commendation to Sher Mohammed.

The jawan was injured in a Maoist attack that killed at least 25 CRPF personnel in Sukma district last Monday.
