Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu said a suspicious person was noticed at the terrace of his Patiala residence Sunday evening and called it a “security lapse”.
He said the suspicious person, wrapped in a grey blanket, escaped after his servant raised an alarm.
Sidhu said he reported the matter to the Punjab Police chief.
“Today on the terrace of my residence an unknown suspicious character wrapped in grey blanket was noticed around 7:00 PM, the moment my servant went out raised the alarm and called for help, he immediately ran and escaped,” Sidhu tweeted.
“Have spoken to @DGPPunjabPolice and SSP Patiala has also been informed. This security lapse will not deter me from raising my voice for Punjab,” he added.
Later, Patiala Senior Superintendent of Police Varun Sharma visited Sidhu’s residence.
A police official said CCTV footage of the area was being scanned.
