Assam: FIR Filed Against Rahul Gandhi, Congress Leaders For Violence
The legal action follows clashes between Congress workers and the police, triggered by the denial of permission for the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra to pass through main routes of Guwahati.
Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that the FIR has been registered by the police due to “wanton acts of violence, provocation, damage to public property, and assault on police personnel today (January 23) by Congress members”.
He expressed his directive in response to a post by Indian Youth Congress (IYC) president Srinivas BV. Following CM Sarma’s instructions, Assam Director General of Police (DGP) GP Singh confirmed that the actions were by the law.
