Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Enter UP, En Route Hathras To Meet Victim's Family
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and party leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra have been allowed to travel to Uttar Pradesh's Hathras and meet the family of the 20-year-old Dalit woman who was allegedly gang raped and murdered last month - and whose body was then cremated in a secretive ceremony at 2.30 am - in a savage crime that has shocked the nation. This was the Congress leaders' second attempt to reach Hathras - the first, on Thursday, ended in a tussle with cops who refused to let Mr Gandhi pass, citing orders banning large gatherings amid coronavirus concerns, and shoved him to the ground in the chaos that followed.
