An FIR was registered against eight Congress leaders including Vikram Singh Negi, son of Revenue and Horticulture minister Jagat Singh Negi, for alleged unlawful assembly and burning the effigy of Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur at Reckong Peo in Kinnaur district on July 13. The FIR under Section 189 (2) (unlawful assembly) and Section 292 (punishment for public nuisance in cases not explicitly covered by other provisions of the Sanhita) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 was registered at Reckong Peo police station on Wednesday. Vikram is also an office bearer of the Himachal Pradesh State Co-operative Bank. Other people named in the FIR include Nirmal Chand, Dr Surya Boras, Kulwant Negi, Man Chand Negi, Ram Mohan, Jai Kishan, and Rakesh Kumar — all residents of the Kalpa area. 'The charges applied in the FIR fall under the category of bailable offences. Notices are to be issued to the people against those mentioned in the FIR. The allegations are being verified,' a police officer said. The officer added that the case was registered following the complaint of a local BJP leader Yashwant Singh Negi, who is the BJP Kinnaur district president. Meanwhile, BJP state media incharge Karan Nanda said 'the incident occurred at the main chowk of Reckong Peo, where a group of Congress workers allegedly gathered without permission, raised anti-Jairam slogans, and publicly set his effigy ablaze'. The complaint alleged that the Congress workers, carrying party flags, assembled without prior approval from authorities, chanted derogatory slogans, and set the effigy on fire in full public view, in front of a police booth. Despite the presence of police personnel, no action was taken at the time, the complaint stated.

Drop attempt to murder charge: Himachal leader of Opposition
Jun 22, 2025 08:44 AM IST Leader of Opposition and former chief minister Jai Ram Thakur on Saturday demanded the state government to immediately drop the attempt to murder charges that has been registered against BJP leaders, including state president Rajeev Bindal, and Paonta Sahib MLA Sukh Ram Chaudhary in a case of stone-pelting that took place few days ago. He also demanded stern action against the main culprit of the incident. Himachal leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur (File) While addressing a press conference, Jai Ram said, 'What happened in Paonta Sahib was clearly a matter of Love Jihad and just like many other such instances involving people of Hindu and Muslim community, action was only initiated against Hindus while no action was taken against the Muslims, which clearly reflects the anti-Sanatan mindset of the government.' 'In a complaint filed by an ASI who was injured in the incident, he had mentioned that it were the people of Muslim community who instigated the violence and pelted the stones first,' Jai Ram said. 'While no action was taken against the accused boy, police arrested four individuals,' he added. 'Being a public representative several BJP leaders were also present during the situation, however, they were not present at the site where violence erupted; still they were booked under Section 109 of BNS,' said Jai Ram. 'The FIR is a result of political vendetta and it looks like the state government saw an opportunity to falsely implicate the top leaders of BJP,' he added.
