A legal case has been formally registered against members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Uttarakhand following a controversy involving a rally addressed by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. The incident reportedly centers on a 'purification' ritual performed by party members in response to the event, which sparked significant political friction.

Because the complaint has been filed as a 'zero FIR,' the case can be investigated by any police station in the country, bypassing standard jurisdictional boundaries. This procedural step is typically taken in cases where immediate legal action is required before the case is transferred to the station with proper local authority. While the specific details of the 'purification' act—such as the exact location or the specific individuals involved—remain limited in current reporting, the filing indicates that local authorities are treating the complaint as a matter requiring formal investigation. The move has drawn attention to the ongoing political tensions between the BJP and Congress in the state, though neither party has provided a comprehensive public statement detailing their specific defense or grievances regarding the incident.
