Before suicide, Mohan Delkar sought help from PM Modi, Amit Shah multiple times: Congress's Sachin Sawant

Mohan Delkar (58), a seven-term MP from Dadra and Nagar Haveli, was found dead in a hotel in Marine Drive area of south Mumbai on February 22.

Congress has claimed that Dadra and Nagar Haveli MP Mohan Delkar, who died by suicide last month in Mumbai, had written multiple letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking their help, but were ignored. Addressing a press conference on Saturday, Congress leader Sachin Sawant also claimed that Mohan Delkar took his life due to persecution by BJP leaders and central officials, terming it a "tragedy for democracy". "Before committing suicide...multiple times he wrote letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home minister Amit Shah appealing for their help. It was a matter of the life and death of an MP. The PM and home minister could have helped Delkar immediately. The question is whether they chose to ignore his letters deliberately," Sawant asked.
