  "summary": "Shiromani Akali Dal MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah requesting a National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the August 13 attack on her husband and SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal in Nanded, Maharashtra. In her letter, Harsimrat Kaur Badal alleged that the attack raised serious security concerns and could have had fatal consequences, stating that Sukhbir Badal suffered an injury to his right arm after the assailant allegedly attacked him with a sharp weapon. She also linked the incident to a previous assassination attempt on Sukhbir Badal at the Golden Temple in Amritsar on December 4, 2024, saying the two incidents had \"several disturbing parallels\" and raised questions about whether they were connected.",
