Uttar Pradesh: An FIR has been registered against Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) president Ajay Rai in Mahoba district for the derogatory and abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The incident took place on Friday, May 22, in the Samad Nagar locality of Mahoba. It was organized at a private residence by former UP Congress Committee secretary Brijraj Ahirwar, without prior administrative permission. Rawat claimed during the programme, Ajay Rai used highly objectionable and abusive language against PM Modi. A video of the ostensible remarks surfaced and went viral on social media, sparking disgrace among local BJP workers.

The complainant also included that Rai arrived with a large convoy of 15–16 vehicles and 25–30 supporters. The vehicles were allegedly parked randomly on a public road, creating massive traffic jams and forcing local law enforcement to divert from regular duties to handle the situation.

The UP police have appealed multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against Ajay Rai, Brijraj Ahirwar, and 25 to 30 unidentified Congress supporters. The sections include, Section 126(2): Wrongful restraint, Section 132: Assault or criminal force to deter a public servant from discharge of duty, Section 196(1): Promoting enmity between different groups and Section 352: Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace.
