Congress activists Dotasra and Juli have maintained a sit‑in at the Jaipur police commissioner's office, demanding a separate FIR in the Ritu Barala assault case, despite police attempts to remove them.
A protest by Congress workers, led by Dotasra and Juli, has persisted at the Jaipur police commissioner's office since Wednesday. The demonstrators are demanding that a separate FIR be filed in the assault case involving Ritu Barala, a matter they say has not been adequately addressed.
Police officials attempted to clear the protestors from the commissioner's premises late on Tuesday night, using force to disperse the crowd. However, the activists re‑established their sit‑in the following morning and have continued to hold the ground.
The standoff underscores the tension between the state’s law‑enforcement agencies and opposition politicians over procedural handling of criminal complaints. No further escalation has been reported as of the latest update.
Local authorities have not released any statement regarding a possible resolution, and the protest remains ongoing.
The incident highlights the broader political friction in Rajasthan, where opposition parties frequently challenge the government's approach to law and order matters.
