FIR against Rahul, Priyanka Gandhi for entering Akashvani Bhawan during opposition protest

The Delhi Police have registered an FIR against Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, along with several other opposition MPs, for allegedly entering the Akashvani Bhavan premises without authorization during a protest. The protest was organized against the Election Commission of India and its chief, Gyanesh Kumar, over allegations of "vote chori" and concerns regarding the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.

The opposition leaders staged a sit-in protest at Akashvani Bhawan for over eight hours before they were detained by the police and later released. The Election Commission stated that no appointment had been sought by any political party until 4 PM, and they considered the subsequent request from a delegation of 240 MPs unusual, as such meetings are typically held at the Commission's premises.
