Delhi Police registered an FIR on Wednesday, naming Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and several MPs for trespassing into Akashvani Bhavan during the earlier protest that began at Parliament Square.
The complaint alleges the leaders breached police barricades near the radio station and occupied the premises without permission, prompting a swift detainment and subsequent release.
The incident unfolded after the opposition’s INDIA bloc march was halted by security forces; Rahul and Priyanka entered the building and staged a sit‑in under a tree, drawing media attention.
In a surprise move, AAP’s Delhi unit announced it would join the protest outside the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer’s office, a shift from its earlier decision to skip Tuesday’s march.
The combined front now seeks a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to challenge the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, a dispute that has reached the Supreme Court.
Election officials say the FIR is a legal response to an unauthorized incursion, while opposition leaders argue it is a political tactic to pressurise the CEC.
The next key event arrives on Friday, when the opposition plans a coordinated march from Parliament to the Election Commission headquarters, hoping to force a formal dialogue.
For residents of nearby wards, the protests mean increased traffic and police presence, turning the streets into a battleground for the country’s democratic future.
