MLA Doda East Mehraj Malik Seeks Restoration of Escort Vehicle, Cites Security Concerns

DODA, June 4 (VoM News): MLA Doda East Mehraj Malik has written to the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir seeking the immediate restoration and retention of his escort vehicle, citing serious security concerns linked to his political and public engagements across the Union Territory.

In a letter dated June 4, 2026, addressed to Manoj Sinha, the Doda MLA and Jammu and Kashmir president of the Aam Aadmi Party stated that his escort vehicle had recently been withdrawn despite repeated representations to the concerned authorities.

Malik said the withdrawal of the escort vehicle has exposed him to “considerable risk,” particularly in view of his public responsibilities, regular interactions with people and extensive travel across Jammu and Kashmir.
