FIR Filed Against 12,051 in Ranchi Rally Clash

An FIR has been registered in Ranchi against 12,000 unnamed individuals and 51 identified individuals for their involvement in a clash with police during a Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) rally. Notable figures named in the FIR include BJP state president Babulal Marandi, Union Minister Sanjay Seth, and former Union Minister Arjun Munda. The rally, held to protest against the Hemant Soren government, escalated into violence, prompting police to use tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd. The police action was a response to BJYM members breaking barricades, leading to injuries on both sides. The district administration had previously imposed prohibitory orders to prevent gatherings near the rally site. The BJP plans to hold the government accountable for issues like corruption and unemployment as assembly elections approach.
