Scribe thrashed for speaking to women claiming they were paid to attend Amit Shah rally: Priyanka
Raebareli (UP), May 12: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday alleged that a journalist was thrashed at Union Home Minister Amit Shah's rally for speaking to women who told him that they were paid to attend the programme.
In a post in Hindi on X, Priyanka Gandhi said, "@moliticsindia journalist Raghav Trivedi was brutally beaten up by BJP men at the home minister's rally in Rae Bareli. The home minister kept speaking and the police kept watching as mute spectators. The journalist was beaten up only because he had spoken to some women who were saying that they were paid to attend the rally."
"The BJP, which has silenced the media in the entire country, cannot tolerate any voice being raised against them. The BJP, which is running a campaign to abolish the Constitution, wants to end democracy in the country and snatch the people's voice," she added.
Priyanka Gandhi also shared a video of the journalist in hospital.
Shah attended a rally in Rae Bareli in support of BJP candidate Dinesh Pratap Singh. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is also contesting from the seat.
Sadar SHO Rajesh Singh said an FIR has been registered on the basis of a complaint by Sanjeet Sahni, who alleged that Trivedi was thrashed by some people after Shah's rally.
The FIR has been registered against five to six unidentified persons under sections 147 (rioting), 323 (voluntary causing hurt) and 504 (intentional insult with intention to provoke breach of the peace) of the Indian Penal Code, he said.
Congress leader and former Chhatisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel later visited the journalist in hospital.
"Rahgav (Trivedi) is saying they (crowd) thought he belonged to a different religion as he has a beard and beat him up," Baghel said and alleged that the police did not save him.

Karnataka: Woman delivers baby on train after emergency halt in Dakshina Kannada
Mangaluru (Karnataka) (PTI): A woman travelling from Mangaluru to Mysuru delivered a baby on board a train after it was halted at a station in Dakshina Kannada district, officials said on Monday.
According to railway sources, the passenger began experiencing labour pain during the journey on Sunday. The train was stopped at B C Road station in Bantwal taluk of this district to facilitate medical assistance. However, no doctor reached the spot for over 30 minutes after the halt.
In the absence of immediate medical support, two co-passengers stepped in to assist the woman. The delivery was conducted in the train's toilet compartment. Both the mother and the newborn were reported to be safe following the delivery, they said.
Railway police officials had arranged for the woman to be shifted to a medical facility. She was admitted to the Government Lady Goschen Hospital in Mangaluru for postnatal care.
According to the OBG (Obstetrics and Gynecology) department officials at the hospital, the child and mother will be discharged after the initial observation period is over.
They told PTI that the delivery was done in trying conditions. The two ladies who carried out the operation had done a good job. The child and mother arrived at the facility 22 kilometers from the spot. Also, the mother experienced no blood loss or any other complications.
The neonate has been incubated and the mother is undergoing normal observational procedure at the hospital, the hospital officials said.
Officials said the woman is a resident of Mysuru and had been travelling home at the time of the incident.
