The Rajasthan Congress has demanded a Zero FIR following an NSUI leader's allegation of police assault, urging immediate legal action.
Rajasthan Congress on Monday formally demanded that a Zero FIR be filed after an NSUI leader alleged that he was assaulted by police personnel. The party’s state unit issued a statement urging the authorities to register the complaint without delay, invoking the Zero FIR provision that allows victims to lodge a first information report even before a crime is formally reported.
The NSUI leader, whose name was not disclosed, claimed that police officers used excessive force during a routine check in a public area, leaving him with visible injuries. He reportedly approached party officials immediately after the incident, prompting the Congress to take up the matter at the state level.
Police officials have not yet commented on the allegations, but a senior officer from the district police said that an inquiry would be initiated as per standard procedure. The Congress has warned that any attempt to delay or suppress the filing of a Zero FIR would be viewed as an obstruction of justice.
Political analysts note that the demand underscores growing tensions between student political groups and law enforcement in Rajasthan, and could influence upcoming local elections as parties vie for youth support.
