Allahabad HC stays arrest of Karni Sena member Rana in Agra MP house attack case
The Allahabad High Court has stayed the arrest of
Karni Sena
member Okendra Singh Rana in two separate FIRs lodged against him in connection with the attack on the Agra residence of Samajwadi Party MP
Ram Ji Lal Suman
in March allegedly by the right-wing group.
The incident had taken place following a remark Suman made in Parliament on 16th century Rajput king Rana Sanga.
While directing to list the case after six weeks, a division bench of Justices Siddharth and Harvir Singh made it clear that an interim order will be subject to the co-operation by petitioner Rana in the ongoing investigation.

Passing this direction, the court also made it clear that if some credible material is brought on record during investigation against Rana, the investigation officer of the case, after recording its reason, may affect the arrest of the petitioner while strictly adhering to the guidelines issued by the apex court in the Arnesh Kumar case.
The court in its order dated June 19 also issued notice to the first informant - former MLA and Suman's son Randhir Suman, who had lodged FIR against members of Karni Sena at Hariparwat police station in Agra district immediately after the attack on March 27.
Live Events
Another FIR was lodged by a sub-inspector, who was posted in the security of MP Suman on June 1, on the same issue at Hariparwat against members of Karni Sena.
Petitioner Rana had challenged both the FIRs and had sought stay on his arrest in the cases.
Rana's counsel argued that he has not been named in the FIR and during investigation, he was falsely implicated in the matter by the police.
The controversy began when Ramji Lal Suman made a statement in Parliament on March 21 suggesting that Rana Sanga had invited Mughal emperor Babur to India to defeat Ibrahim Lodi.
These remarks, which questioned the Rajput legacy, provoked an immediate backlash from Rajput organisations, including the Akhil Bharatiya Kshatriya Mahasabha and the Karni Sena.
Subsequently, members of Karni Sena allegedly attacked and vandalised the residence of Suman in Agra.

'To call balls and strikes': After opposing 'big beautiful bill', Senator Thom Tillis says won't run for reelection; Donald Trump says 'great news'
Photo/Agencies US Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina announced on Sunday that he will not run for reelection next year. The announcement came a day after he opposed US President Donald Trump 's tax and spending proposal, which includes cuts to health care programs, and after Trump publicly attacked him for voting "no" to advance his "big, beautiful bill." Tillis' decision opens up the Senate seat in a state that has often seen close races. It also gives Democrats a chance to gain ground in the 2026 midterm elections. Tillis could now play an unpredictable role in the Republican Party, where few members go against Trump. Trump had already been considering supporting a primary challenger against him and reacted to the news by posting, "Great News!" It was the latest congressional retirement to underscore the rightward shift of the GOP and the reality that there is little room for any Republican to break with Trump, the New York Times said in a report. "In Washington over the last few years, it's become increasingly evident that leaders who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking are becoming an endangered species," Tillis said in a statement. He said he was proud of his time in public service but admitted that it has been tough for politicians who stand apart from their party. "I look forward to having the pure freedom to call the balls and strikes as I see fit and representing the great people of North Carolina to the best of my ability," Tillis added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Currently, Republicans have a 53-47 majority in the Senate. Trump criticized Tillis on social media for being one of only two Republican senators who voted on Saturday against moving forward with the large tax bill, dubbed the "big beautiful bill." He accused Tillis of trying to gain attention and said he would campaign against him. Trump also claimed the senator did not do enough to help people in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene caused major flooding. "Tillis is a talker and complainer, NOT A DOER," Trump wrote. Tillis gained attention in North Carolina politics when he left his job as an IBM consultant during his second term in the state House. He led the GOP's efforts to win more seats in the 2010 elections. That year, Republicans took control of the state House and Senate for the first time in 140 years. He later became House speaker and helped pass conservative policies related to taxes, gun laws, business regulations, and abortion. He also supported a 2012 constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, which passed but was later overturned by the courts. In 2014, Tillis won a close race against Democratic Senator Kay Hagan, helping Republicans take control of the US Senate. During his time in office, he focused on mental health, Medicaid expansion, substance abuse recovery, and veterans' issues. Tillis, known for working with Democrats on some topics, sometimes faced criticism from his own party. In 2023, North Carolina Republicans voted to censure him over his positions on immigration and gun policies.
