Delhi Police have registered a case against opposition MPs after Tuesday’s march on the Election Commission.
The case concerns alleged unauthorised entry into a government building.
About 260 people were detained and released the same night.
The opposition called the case retaliation.
Police said no permission was sought for the march.
The detained leaders were taken to New Police Lines and Kingsway Camp, and all were released before midnight.
ThePrint reported that around 300 opposition MPs led by Rahul Gandhi marched from Parliament House towards the Election Commission office.
The Election Commission said the delegation had not sought an appointment through the established protocol, according to ThePrint.
The commission said it had proposed sending an officer to receive the memorandum, and that the offer was declined, according to the same report.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh described the FIR as retaliation and said the leadership had adopted satyagraha to highlight alleged voter deletions.
The march was held to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
The reports available on October 7 did not include a response from the Chief Election Commissioner to the allegations.
Akashvani Bhawan, which houses All India Radio, is on Parliament Street and is next to the Election Commission office.
Jairam Ramesh also announced a rally at Ramlila Maidan on November 1, according to Deccan Chronicle.
An FIR is the first recorded report of an alleged offence, and it does not by itself establish that an offence was committed.
Delhi Police registered an FIR on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, over the events of Tuesday’s INDIA bloc march.
The FIR concerns the alleged unauthorised entry of Congress MPs Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other INDIA bloc MPs into the Akashvani Bhawan premises.
ThePrint reported that the other MPs named include K.C. Venugopal, Pawan Khera and Mahua Moitra.
