Delhi Police file FIR against Gandhi siblings over protest scuffle

Delhi Police on Wednesday filed formal cases against multiple Congress leaders and workers, including senior party figures Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, in connection with an incident during a Congress-led protest. The cases were registered following allegations that demonstrators physically engaged with police officers and impeded official duties during the demonstration. The move marks an escalation in tensions between the ruling government and the Congress party, which has been organizing demonstrations on various policy matters in the national capital. Police alleged that several protesters, including the named Congress leaders, were involved in pushing and shoving with officers who were attempting to manage the crowd and enforce restrictions on the gathering. Congress party representatives have not yet issued an official response to the filing of the cases. The incident reflects ongoing friction between opposition parties and law enforcement agencies during political protests in Delhi, where demonstrations regularly draw large numbers of supporters and intense police presence.
