00:00 Two days after Assam police filed a case against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and associates

00:12 following a clash between party workers and police during the Bharat Joro Nyaya Yatra,

00:18 the case has been transferred to the Specialised Criminal Investigation Department (CID).

00:25 Assam's police chief, G.P. Singh, announced on social media that the case has been handed

00:30 over to the CID for a thorough and in-depth investigation through a special investigation

00:35 team (SIT).

00:37 Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders faced charges under nine sections of the Indian

00:42 Penal Code, including offences related to rioting, unlawful assembly and criminal conspiracy.

00:50 During the Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi, Congress workers clashed with Assam police near the

00:54 city limits of Guwahati this Tuesday, January 23.

00:59 The state's BJP government had restricted the Yatra from accessing key Guwahati roads,

01:04 citing concerns about potential traffic disruptions.

01:08 Despite the denial, Congress workers attempted to enter the city, contesting the grounds

01:13 for permissioned refuge.

01:15 At the city borders, a substantial police presence aimed to halt the progress of about

01:20 5,000 Congress workers, resulting in clashes and chaotic scenes.

01:25 Chief Minister Himanta Sarma accused Congress of employing "nuxalite tactics" contributing

01:31 to a massive traffic jam.

01:34 The expeditious transfer of the case to the CID follows a heated exchange between Mr.

01:39 Gandhi and Mr. Sarma.

01:42 Congress leaders claim that the Chief Minister, a former member of Congress, has been obstructing

01:46 the Yatra at every turn.

01:49 Congress President Mallik Arjun Kharge has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah highlighting

01:54 security breaches in Mr. Gandhi's Yatra since entering Assam.

01:59 During public addresses in Assam, Mr. Gandhi criticised Mr. Sarma as the country's most

02:05 corrupt chief minister, asserting that he is remotely controlled by the Centre from

02:09 Delhi.

02:10 Mr. Gandhi challenged the Assam chief minister to file more cases against him, emphasising

02:15 that he is not afraid.

02:17 In response, Mr. Sarma accused the Congress MP of inciting unrest in the state, alleging

02:22 that the Congress party was attempting to destabilise Assam.

02:27 He stated, "We will arrest him, by him he mean Rahul Gandhi, after the Lok Sabha elections.

02:34 If we arrest him before, it will become politicised.

02:38 Now that the case has been registered, SIT will investigate and we have evidence.

02:44 A significant incident could have occurred in Guwahati after he incited the breaking

02:48 of barricades.

02:49 We choose not to engage in politics before the Lok Sabha election because we anticipate

02:55 winning this election."

02:58 Today marks the concluding day of Bharat Joro Naya Yatra in Assam, with the journey set to

03:04 continue into West Bengal.
