Rajasthan Cong demands FIR over alleged assault on NSUI leader; Dotasra spends second night at police HQ

Rajasthan Congress leaders, led by the state party chief, staged a continuous sit-in protest at the Jaipur Police Commissionerate. The protest began after local police received a complaint regarding an alleged assault on a student wing leader but did not register a First Information Report. The complainant alleged that women constables of the Delhi Police physically harmed her inside a detained bus during a demonstration in the national capital.

The demonstration intensified when police used mild force to disperse party workers who had gathered outside the commissionerate to show support. Protesters raised slogans, engaged in scuffles, and caused traffic disruptions, prompting authorities to close the main gate, erect barricades, and deploy additional personnel. The protesting leaders spent multiple consecutive nights sleeping in a corridor of the police headquarters, vowing not to leave until their demand for a case registration was met.

Jaipur Police declined to register a Zero FIR, explaining that a complaint regarding the identical incident had already been lodged at a police station in Delhi and was currently under investigation there. Officials maintained that a second FIR on the same set of facts could not be registered locally. In response, the opposition leaders demanded a copy of the previously filed Delhi FIR, arguing that the law allows for a Zero FIR.

Not yet reported: The articles do not mention the final resolution of the protest or whether the leaders eventually reached a compromise with the police.
