A video of Bhopal’s BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur, who usually moves in a wheelchair citing health issues, shows her walking and dribbling a ball before netting it a basketball hoop.


Her act has left many surprised, with the Madhya Pradesh Congress saying that it was delighted to see Thakur trying her hands at the basketball game, given that it was so far under the impression that she cannot even stand or walk.


Thakur had gone to attend a sapling plantation event at Saket Nagar in Bhopal on Thursday, where she spotted some players practising on a basketball ground, sources said.


Thakur is an accused in 2008 Malegaon blast case. In January, the special NIA court in Mumbai had granted exemption from physical appearance to her. She had appeared before the special court on January 4 and filed an application seeking permanent exemption on medical and other grounds.
