Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra played the role of protector on Saturday afternoon during a brief clash between Congress workers and Uttar Pradesh cops at the toll plaza on the Delhi-Noida Direct (DND) Flyover, where she and her brother were temporarily stopped while on their way to Hathras to visit the family of the Dalit woman who was gang raped and killed last month. In visuals of the chaos at the Delhi-UP border, Mrs Gandhi Vadra - in a dark blue kurta and wearing a face mask - can be seen hopping a small yellow barricade and rushing to shield a man in a white kurta as cops with raised lathis surround her and a horde of reporters cover the ruckus.
