Agra police lodged an FIR against an “unknown mob” on Thursday, a day after Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha MP Ramji Lal Suman’s residence here was vandalised, allegedly by members of the Karni Sena over the lawmaker’s remark on Rajput ruler Rana Sanga. The FIR was lodged against ‘uncontrolled crowd of hundreds, name unknown’ under charges of rioting, attempt to murder, house trespass, and robbery on the complaint of Suman’s son Ranjeet Suman.

A video of the Rajya Sabha MP surfaced recently in which he is purportedly heard saying that Rana Sanga was a “traitor” who brought Babur to defeat Ibrahim Lodi. Rana Sanga or Sangram Singh I was the ruler of Mewar from 1508 to 1528. Following the MP’s remarks, scores of activists allegedly belonging to the Karni Sena vandalised the lawmaker’s house located near Hari Parvat Chauraha here on Wednesday.  Karni Sena chief Suraj Pal Singh Amu said the MP’s remarks insulted a hero who defeated the Mughals and demanded Suman and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav tender an apology.
