Delhi Advocate Files Police Complaint Against AISA President Neha Bora Over Alleged Remarks About Brahmin Women

By ANI

Delhi Advocate Amita Sachdeva filed a police complaint on Wednesday against AISA President Neha Bora for remarks she made about Brahmin women and temple priests. Sachdeva said the statements promote hostility and disharmony between different groups. She registered the complaint under Section 196 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). If Delhi Police do not take action, she will approach the court under Section 175(3) of the BNS to seek registration of an FIR. The complaint was prompted by an old video that surfaced on November 2 in which Bora expressed concerns about the safety of Brahmin women inside temple premises, alleging that priests could rape them. In the video, Bora said, “Protection is definitely needed, and protection is needed from the Brahmanical system itself. That system which says that the poor, Shudras, animals, and women are deserving of punishment/rebuke. This is the very same system under which Brahmin women are unsafe, they get raped. Priests commit rape inside temples. We see such instances in Unnao, in Kathua.” The video was shared by BJP leader Pradeep Bhandari on X, where he criticized Bora’s remarks and accused Congress of promoting anti‑Hindu views. Following the incident, several political leaders criticized Bora’s statements. Union Minister Chirag Paswan said that while caste‑ and religion‑based discrimination still exists, leaders should highlight examples that promote social harmony rather than division. He added that the manner in which Bora spoke about Brahmin women, Brahminism and Sanatan Dharma reflected a politics of division that has continued since the British era. He urged leaders to choose examples from history that unite society. The statements and the subsequent complaint are the only facts reported in the article.
