New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi arrested by UP police while on his way to Hathras to meet gangrape victim's family.
Rahul Gandhi, who has been stopped at Yamuna Expressway on his way to Hathras, asked police, "I want to walk to Hathras alone. Please tell me under which section are you arresting me."
"Just now police pushed me, lathicharged me and threw me to the ground. I want to ask, can only Modi Ji walk in this country? Can't a normal person walk? Our vehicle was stopped, so we started walking," Rahul Gandhi said
He, along with sister Priyanka Gandhi, was going to Harthras to meet the family of the 19-year-old Dalit woman who succumbed to assault injuries on Tuesday following alleged gang rape.
The 19-year-old victim died in Safdarjung Hospital where she was brought on Monday from Aligarh Muslim University Medical College.
Police had conducted her last rites at her native place in the wee hours of Wednesday. All four accused involved in the incident have been arrested.
