Richa Parasar files complaint against Rahul Gandhi for alleged misconduct
Journalist Richa Parasar has filed a criminal complaint with the New Delhi district DCP against Rahul Gandhi and others, demanding an immediate FIR. The complaint, submitted on 17 October, relates to alleged misbehaviour, threats, and criminal force during the reporting of a protest at the Supreme Court on 12 October.
Parasar, who was three months pregnant at the time, claims that Gandhi pulled her by the shoulder and that his security personnel pushed her, causing her to fall on stairs. She was later hospitalised. A video of the incident was widely shared on social media.
The complaint seeks action under sections 74, 115(2), 131, 125, and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, covering assault to outrage a woman's modesty, voluntarily causing hurt, assault, rash acts endangering life, and joint liability for criminal acts committed with common intent.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both aajtak.in and Prabhat Khabar report the complaint identically, attributing Parasar's allegations and citing the same BNS sections. Neither outlet frames the story as pro-government or critical, both present it as a neutral report of a legal filing. The uniform coverage means the factual basis of the complaint is not contested in these reports. The next step will depend on whether the DCP registers an FIR, which both sources note as Parasar's demand.
