Congress Leaders Charged After Protest at CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Agra ResidencePreviousNext

Around 20 Congress workers, including six leaders, were charged and arrested following a protest outside Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's ancestral home in Agra. The protest involved defacing the property with black paint and slogans demanding Kumar's resignation. Police allege the crowd attempted to breach the house and assaulted an elderly home guard. Congress leaders deny wrongdoing, calling the charges baseless and alleging police fabricated FIRs. The case has drawn political criticism and legal challenges amid ongoing protests.
