00:00All right, let's cut across to some more updates coming in from that Dharna Rahul Gandhi has been sitting on
00:05outside the Parliament Street Police Station.
00:07Delhi Police is now registered in FIR regarding the pellet gun incident.
00:11So after four hours, a little more than four hours, in fact, of Rahul Gandhi being there outside the Parliament
00:18Street Police Station,
00:18we now have the FIR which has been registered.
00:22Randeep Surjewala, Priyanka Gandhi currently at the DCP's office, we are told.
00:27The FIR is based on the complaint filed by Sahil.
00:29It is registered against an unknown person at the moment, while no specific name will appear in the accused column
00:37just yet.
00:38So FIR against unknown person filed by the pellet gun victim, Rahul.
00:44Let's cut across to the other Rahul in this case, not Gandhi I'm talking about.
00:48I'm talking about my colleague Rahul Gautam, who's been bringing us up to speed with everything else that's been happening.
00:53Rahul, I see you outside the Parliament Street Police Station now.
00:56Now tell us what next.
00:58FIR has been registered.
00:59Where are the leaders now?
01:12Rahul, if you can hear me, now that the FIR has been registered, what's happening there?
01:27Well, obviously Congress will now claim victory and I would go around to say that they have bent the government
01:33on this issue.
01:34Remember, you know, it's now close to five hours since Rahul Gandhi sitting here at the DCP office of Parliament
01:42Street Police Station.
01:44And not just Rahul Gandhi, in fact, there were Priyanka Gandhi Vatra, Jai Ram Ramesh, Kumali Shailja, all the other
01:50senior leaders inside the very premise of Parliament Street Police Station.
01:55And outside there were scores of Congress workers.
01:59Expect, because of the fact that Congress Party has been insisting that an FIR should be filed in this regard,
02:05then only they'll be leaving the place.
02:06Otherwise, Congress is not going to budge from their stance.
02:09And that's why I expect that now, given the fact that an FIR has been registered against unknown person on
02:17the basis of the complaint of Sahil Lochab, expect that this is going to be a breakthrough or some sort
02:22of a truce.
02:23And in all likelihood, Rahul Gandhi will be vacating this place.
02:28But one thing is very important here, that Congress will now go forward and create a narrative that they have,
02:35in a way, the government has succumbed to their pressure.
02:38It was Rahul Gandhi who's leading the charge at the very forefront as far as student causes concern.
02:44And remember, you know, it was a great optics on the part of the Congress Party.
02:49Many in the party believe.
02:50Why? Because Rahul Gandhi got Sahil Lochab earlier also on 14th, you know, on 24th of July.
02:58And in fact, on 14th of August, he went on to a police station to get this FIR registered.
03:05When he's claiming that he was refused to get his FIR registered, then only he tried to get political support
03:12from Rahul Gandhi,
03:13which Rahul Gandhi readily offered and came all the way to the Parliamentary Street Police Station to get this FIR
03:21registered.
03:22And now, after five hours, since if Rahul Gandhi would be leaving from this device...
03:26Rahul, could you also take us through some visuals there, just trying to understand what's happening to the protest as
03:32we speak.
03:32Is Rahul Gandhi still there? Is he leaving?
03:36What exactly is he going to make a statement? What's happening next?
03:49Well, I'll just show you, actually, what is happening on the Ground Zero.
03:53I'll ask my camera person to just pan the camera around, show you about the activities that are going here.
04:01Rahul Gandhi, you can see, is still waiting here for the copy of FIR.
04:04As we speak, we've been informed that Vrandeep Singh Surjewala and Priyanka Gandhi Wadra, they are getting this, you know,
04:15the entire process done.
04:17Because, obviously, they've been demanding this for past five hours.
04:21Earlier, the Delhi police refused to do so, saying that there's already an SIT, which has been constituted at the
04:28directions of Supreme Court.
04:30And therefore, they can't really do much and can't really file a separate FIR.
04:34But Rahul Gandhi was...
04:35Now, you just see the...
04:36These are the visuals of the Parliament Street Road.
04:39And you can see there are scores of Congress workers because of the fact that gates are closed.
04:45Nobody is allowed to enter into the premise.
04:47But still, the Congress workers are holding the ground just outside the office, DCP office.
04:54And it was quite unprecedented, given the fact that LOP Lok Sabha coming all the way to a DCP office,
05:02holding a dharna.
05:03And Congress is saying that this also shows how the situation is so grim in the country that LOP had
05:09to come only to get an FIR registered,
05:12which many of them are saying has been a norm in the country, like zero FIRs, the very complaint that
05:19you give, actually get transformed into an FIR.
05:23But here, in this case, they were not able to do so.
05:26And that's why Rahul Gandhi himself intervened, ensured that the FIR get registered and expect that now Congress would claim
05:33victory
05:34and also vindication of their leader, that's Rahul Gandhi, saying that he is the one who has now emerged as
05:41one of the most popular leaders of youth and Gen Z.
05:44And that's why he's taking up their cause.
05:47All right, that's interesting.
05:49Visuals there that Rahul Gautam is showing us.
05:51Inside you have the Congress leadership and outside you have Congress workers who have reached as well.
05:58Rahul Gandhi, five hours and counting, has managed to get the FIR registered, a very Gen Z style of protest
06:04that he has conducted.
06:06And at the moment, it looks like he's had his way.
06:09The Delhi police has given in to register that FIR.
