Fri Dec 20 00:12:57 UTC 2024: ## Rahul Gandhi Booked for Assault, BJP MP Injured
**New Delhi, India** – A First Information Report (FIR) has been filed against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for allegedly assaulting BJP MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi in the Parliament complex. While initially the complaint included charges of attempted murder (IPC Section 109), this has been dropped. The FIR, filed by Delhi Police based on a BJP complaint, still includes charges related to assault and causing grievous hurt. The incident resulted in Sarangi sustaining injuries and requiring hospitalization. The BJP’s complaint alleges that Gandhi pushed Sarangi, causing him harm. The Congress, however, is yet to respond to the allegations.
This development comes amidst a flurry of other political news:
* **Bihar Raids:** Police conducted a raid at the home of a RJD MLA’s brother, recovering three firearms and a cash counting machine.
* **Samajwadi Party MP Raided:** Samajwadi Party MP Jiya Ur Rehman’s premises were raided by the electricity department on charges of electricity theft.
These events highlight a period of heightened political tension in India. Further updates on the investigation into the incident involving Rahul Gandhi are awaited.
