Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and two other leaders – Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, KC Venugopal – have been allowed by the policemen at the toll plaza on the Delhi-Noida Direct (DND) to proceed to Hathras in Uttar Pradesh. The leaders are trying to travel to Hathras to speak to the family of the 20-year-old Dalit woman who was gang raped and murdered, and whose body was then cremated in the dead of night by the police in a secretive ceremony.
Issuing a statement on the same, the Noida Police told news agency PTI, “Rahul Gandhi, four other Congress representatives will be allowed to proceed to Hathras.”
Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi were stopped by the Uttar Pradesh cops at the Delhi-Noida border on the DND expressway while on their way to Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras.
