New Delhi: After the recent incident involving Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on the Parliament premises, there have been some updates. Sources say that the police are planning to speak with the two injured MPs on Friday and may request for Rahul Gandhi to come in for questioning. Additionally, they may reach out to the Parliament secretariat to obtain CCTV footage from the area where the scuffle took place.
An official also mentioned that the higher authorities are considering transferring the case from the local police to the crime branch. As of Thursday, a case has been registered under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at the Parliament Street police station. This came after the BJP filed a complaint, accusing Gandhi of physical assault and incitement during the altercation that resulted in injuries to their two MPs, Pratap Chandra Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput.
According to a police source, Rahul Gandhi may be called in for questioning, and statements from other MPs who witnessed the incident may also be recorded. The source added that a team of officials may also visit Sarangi and Rajput at the hospital to gather their statements for further investigation. Their medical certificates will also be collected for reference.
On Thursday, BJP MP Hemang Joshi, along with Anurag Thakur and Bansuri Swaraj, visited the Parliament Street police station to file a complaint. However, the Congress has refuted these allegations and claims that BJP MPs were the ones who pushed their leader, Mallikarjun Kharge, and physically manhandled Rahul Gandhi, who is the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha. The Congress has also lodged a complaint regarding this matter. A delegation of Congress MPs, including Digvijaya Singh, Mukul Wasnik, Rajiv Shukla, and Pramod Tiwari, visited the station in person to file the complaint, according to an officer.
