**New Delhi, [Date]:** The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has filed a complaint against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of assault following a clash in Parliament. The incident occurred during a protest by opposition MPs against Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement regarding B.R. Ambedkar.
The clash resulted in injuries to BJP MPs Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput, who were hospitalized. Sarangi alleged that Gandhi pushed another MP, causing him to fall and injure Sarangi.
The BJP’s complaint against Gandhi cites various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including Section 109 (abetment of an offence), which pertains to attempt to murder. This carries a potential punishment of up to 10 years imprisonment and a fine, or life imprisonment and a fine if grievous hurt is inflicted on the victim. The complaint also includes other sections related to assault and unlawful assembly.
The complaint is considered cognizable and non-bailable, meaning arrest is possible without a warrant and bail is not readily granted. The Delhi Police are investigating the matter.
