The guard, who was on duty at the time, later went missing. The Minister's family members were asleep in other rooms when the incident occurred, the police said.

A first information report has been lodged. The police have managed to catch the missing guard and are interrogating him.
Hours after the incident, the Pradesh Congress Committee demanded a high-level probe into the incident.
“The State government should take this matter very seriously and order a high-level probe,” Pradesh Congress Committee spokesperson K.K. Mishra said.
“Had Mr. Bhuria not put-off his visit to Indore at the eleventh hour due to political engagements, some unpleasant thing could have happened to him.” — PTI
