Rajasthan: Congress to Approach Court over Ritu Barala Zero FIR, Ends Sit-in Protest
Congress said it will go to court after police refused to register a Zero FIR in the alleged assault case involving student leader Ritu Barala.
- On Wednesday, Rajasthan Congress leaders ended a 43-hour sit-in at the Jaipur Police Commissionerate after police refused to register a Zero FIR for student leader Ritu Barala, announcing plans to approach the court.
- Student leader Ritu Barala, affiliated with NSUI, was allegedly assaulted during detention at a protest in New Delhi on October 13 against 'vote chori,' prompting Govind Singh Dotasra to lead the Jaipur demonstration following instructions from Rahul Gandhi.
- Jaipur Police Commissioner Sachin Mittal informed protesters they could not lodge a Zero FIR under the BNSS, citing pending legal action at the Connaught Place police station; Dotasra criticized the three-day delay in receiving this explanation.
- Asserting the police misinterpret the law, Dotasra told reporters, 'We will approach the court over the registration of an FIR and justice for Ritu Barala,' citing a Zero FIR successfully registered in Keralam.
- Dotasra alleged the police refusal stems from pressure by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, leaving the party with judicial intervention as their only option to secure justice for the 27-year-old student leader.
