Rahul, Priyanka meet Hathras gang rape victim's family Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra today met the family of the Dalit woman who died after alleged gang rape this week, after the Uttar Pradesh government allowed them to visit Hathras. This came after police officials tried to convince them that Section 144 was in place and that their visit would be a violation of the Epidemic Diseases Act. Love Kumar, Additional Commissioner of Police (Law & Order), Gautam Buddh Nagar, told reporters that a large number of workers turned up on Delhi-Noida-Delhi (DND) flyway, leading to a traffic jam. "When the Congress leaders persisted with their demand, they were allowed to go to Hathras in a group of five persons," he said. Senior Congress leaders K.C. Venugopal, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, and P.L. Punia have accompanied Gandhi and Vadra. Congress workers who had come to join their leaders at the DND flyover were lathi-charged by the U.P. police. Former MP Kamal Kishore and Delhi Congress president Anil Choudhary faced blows. Vadra came out of the car and held the lathi of a policeman. She could be heard asking him not to hit the party workers. She also explained the situation to party workers and asked them to return, before moving on. Earlier in the day, the Gautam Buddh Nagar police made arrangements to stop Gandhi and Vadra in Noida. A heavy deployment of police personnel was made to prevent the Congress leaders from crossing the Delhi-U.P. border. Gandhi had tweeted that he would make another attempt to travel to Hathras and speak to the family of the 19-year-old girl who was brutally assaulted and murdered. In a tweet in Hindi, Gandhi said that no force on earth could stop him from going to Hathras, meet the unhappy family, and share their pain. State Congress president Ajay Kumar Lallu tweeted that he had been put under house arrest by Uttar Pradesh police to prevent him from going to Hathras.
