The Delhi Police have registered 25 FIRs since October 2, 2026, over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) protests in the national capital, sources reported. The FIRs target Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, with charges including vandalism, assaults, obstruction of government work, and violation of prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).
Police action followed repeated incidents of lawlessness during the demonstrations, according to a police source. The Opposition MPs staged protests in response to allegations by The Indian Express about Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi objecting to multiple decisions on SIR electoral roll processes.
