FIR lodged against 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' for route deviation in Assam

An FIR was registered against the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' and its chief organiser K.B. Byju for allegedly deviating from its permitted route inside Jorhat town in Assam on January 18, police said.

According to an official, the march took a different turn in the town instead of going towards K.B. Road as permitted, and it led to a "chaotic situation" in the area.

"Some people fell due to the sudden rush of people and a stampede-like situation was created. A suo motu FIR has been registered at Jorhat Sadar Police Station against the Yatra and its chief organiser," he added.
