Additional FIRs lodged against Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi over alleged police assault during SIR protest

Additional First Information Reports have been registered against Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra over alleged assault on police personnel. The development follows INDIA bloc MPs being stopped by Delhi Police for the second consecutive day on Wednesday while attempting to march towards Jantar Mantar.

The move marks an escalation in the law enforcement response to the opposition bloc's protest activities. Delhi Police prevented the MPs from proceeding with their planned demonstration, citing concerns about public order.

The Congress leaders have been at the forefront of INDIA bloc protests, including demonstrations related to the Scheduled Castes Sub-Plan (SIR) issue. The filing of fresh FIRs adds to the legal pressures being mounted against senior opposition figures amid ongoing tensions between the government and the opposition coalition.
