Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were detained by Uttar Pradesh police on October 1, after the former was allegedly shoved and pushed to the bottom by police personnel, as they were enroute to Hathras district from New Delhi .
The Gandhis had planned to go to the village and meet relations of the 19-year-old Hathras gang rape victim who died 2 days back, after being allegedly raped and tortured by four men in Hathras.
Accompanied by Congress supporters, the Gandhis had started a foot-march to Hathras — approximately 140 kilometres before Hathras they were stopped and Congress supporters and police clashed within the ensuing chaos on the Yamuna Expressway.
“I want to proceed to Hathras alone. Please tell me under which section are you arresting me?” Rahul Gandhi was seen asking the police, during a video tweeted by press agency ANI.
“We are arresting you under Section 188 IPC for violation of an order,” police responded.
“Just now police pushed me, lathicharged me and shoved me to the ground . I would like to ask, can only people belonging to the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) and BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) enter this district? Can only Modi ji enter this part of the country? Can’t a normal citizen walk? Our vehicle was stopped, so we started walking,” Rahul Gandhi told reporters.
