Congress MP Imran Masood has been placed under house arrest at his residence in Saharanpur, preventing him from traveling to Bareilly. Large police contingents have been deployed outside his house, restricting movement and ensuring that Masood remains confined. According to Masood, he intended to meet officials in Bareilly, but authorities prevented him from leaving his residence.The MP alleged that the action taken against him is one-sided and targeted, claiming that certain sections of the community, including Muslims, are being unfairly restricted or detained. Masood expressed concerns over the heavy police presence and the limitations placed on his freedom of movement, stating that he was not allowed to exit his home despite legitimate plans to visit Bareilly.Local authorities, however, have cited security concerns and preventive measures as the reason for the house arrest. The incident has sparked political reactions, with the Congress party condemning the action and demanding that Masood be allowed to proceed with his official engagements. Observers note that the situation highlights rising tensions in the region, with both political and community implications. The enforcement of house arrest on a sitting MP has drawn significant media attention and public debate over civil liberties and administrative discretion.
