25 FIRs in 8 days as Delhi protests over CEC resignation continue

In the ongoing protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation in Delhi, 25 First Information Reports (FIRs) have been registered in just eight days. The protests started on October 2 when All India Students’ Association president Neha Bora called for the CEC's resignation, followed by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi.

Over 300 opposition MPs marched towards the CEC office, leading to several scuffles involving police personnel and alleged violations of prohibitory orders. One FIR has even been registered against the Congress for violating Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. Additionally, a Kashmiri man claimed he was roughed up by Congress members for supporting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Three FIRs have been registered against Rahul Gandhi and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for assaulting officers during the protest. The Opposition MPs plan to march to the Rashtrapati Bhavan, with a possible meeting with President if the INDIA alliance leaders receive an appointment.
