Delhi Police has registered an FIR against senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
NEW DELHI: Delhi Police has registered an FIR against senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi based on a complaint lodged by BJP MPs, including Anurag Thakur and Bansuri Swaraj. The complaint accuses Gandhi of involvement in “physical assault and incitement” during a scuffle at the Parliament premises. The FIR includes charges under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including voluntarily causing hurt, voluntarily causing grievous hurt, endangering the life or personal safety of others, use of criminal force, criminal intimidation, and common intention.
The incident reportedly occurred during a confrontation at the Parliament entry steps over the alleged insult to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Former Union Minister Pratap Chandra Sarangi and BJP MP Mukesh Rajput were injured in the melee. Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached out to Sarangi and Rajput to check on their health, according to sources. Earlier in the day, BJP MP Hemang Joshi, accompanied by party colleagues Anurag Thakur and Bansuri Swaraj, visited the Parliament Street Police Station to file the complaint.

The BJP has sought Gandhi’s indictment under sections of attempt to murder and other charges. According to a report, the FIR under sections 117, 125, 131, 351, and 3(5) of the IPC was registered at the Parliament Street Police Station.
High drama unfolded as both NDA and INDIA bloc MPs staged protests outside Parliament. During the scuffle, the BJP accused Gandhi of pushing Sarangi and Rajput, who are now receiving treatment for serious head injuries at Delhi’s Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. Rejecting these allegations, Gandhi stated, “We were going to the House, their MPs were standing at the gate to stop us.
