A formal police complaint has been filed against Indian National Congress leader Rahul Gandhi by journalist Richa Parashar, who alleged that the politician pushed her during a protest at the Supreme Court premises in New Delhi. Parashar claimed the physical contact occurred while Gandhi was present at the demonstration.
The complaint marks an escalation in the incident, which had initially surfaced following the protest event. Parashar's formal action through law enforcement represents an attempt to document the alleged interaction through official channels.
The incident comes amid heightened scrutiny of Gandhi's public appearances and interactions with media personnel. Congress representatives are yet to issue an official statement regarding the allegation.
Police have received the complaint and are examining the matter, though no formal case filing has been confirmed at this stage. The development is likely to intensify political discourse surrounding the incident in coming days.
