Rajasthan Congress Protests Police Refusal to Register FIR in NSUI Assault Case
Congress leaders in Rajasthan, led by state president Govind Singh Dotasra, staged a nearly two-day protest at Jaipur Police Commissionerate demanding a zero FIR against Delhi Police personnel accused of assaulting NSUI leader Ritu Barala during a protest in New Delhi. Jaipur Police refused, citing an existing complaint filed in Delhi and legal constraints on registering another FIR. The protest ended after police issued a written refusal, with Congress planning to seek judicial review and pursue legal action over the FIR denial.
