A case has been filed against Congress leader and former MP Renuka Chowdhury for grabbing a cop's collar during Hyderabad protests. She has been charged under Section 353 of the Indian Penal Code which punishes assault or criminal force to deter a public servant from discharge of his duty.
A video of the incident went viral on social media earlier today showing Ms Chowdhury grabbing the collar of a policeman in Telangana on Thursday during the party's protest against the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons to Rahul Gandhi.
The 43-second video also shows Ms Chowdhury arguing with the policeman. She was then dragged by female police officers towards a police van.
The protest was organised as part of “Chalo Raj Bhavan” call given by the Congress party to protest Rahul Gandhi's questioning by the ED. He is being questioned by the agency in connection with a money-laundering case pertaining to the National Herald-AJL deal.
