UP Police Files Case Against Rahul Gandhi, Sister Priyanka Over Hathras March | Read

A police case was lodged against Congress's Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra under the Epidemic Act today, hours after they were detained on way to Hathras. The two leaders had planned to meet the family of the 20-year-old woman who died on Tuesday after brutal torture and gang rape. But the Uttar Pradesh police had barricaded the roads to Hathras citing coronavirus. Amid widespread outrage over the brutality to the woman, who belonged to the Scheduled Castes, and the post-midnight funeral by the police, the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court has summoned the top officials of the state police and administration.
