Following the incident, the BJP lodged a complaint against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of “physical assault and incitement” and calling for charges of attempted murder and other offenses to be filed.
An FIR has now been registered against Gandhi based on the BJP’s complaint. The Delhi Police took action on Thursday, hours after the BJP formally submitted its allegations.
