Delhi Police book Gandhi siblings after INDIA bloc protest over SIR

Delhi Police booked Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday following their involvement in a protest march held in the capital on Tuesday. The action came as the INDIA bloc opposition alliance intensified its campaign against what it describes as irregularities in the Special Investigation Report (SIR).

The Congress leaders were part of a broader demonstration staged by opposition parties challenging the government's handling of investigations. The exact charges leveled against them were not immediately detailed, though sources indicated the bookings relate to their participation in the unauthorized assembly.

Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA bloc) members are scheduled to meet on Wednesday to strategize their next course of action. The coalition plans to coordinate further protests and parliamentary procedures to press their demands regarding transparency in the investigation process.

The development marks an escalation in tensions between the opposition and the government over the investigation matter. Opposition parties have criticized what they characterize as attempts to suppress dissent, while authorities maintain they are following due process in handling the demonstrations.
