Rahul, Priyanka allowed to visit Hathras to meet victim’s family

Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra are expected to be allowed to travel to Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras and meet the family of the 19-year-old woman who died after she was assaulted and allegedly gang-raped.

This is the Congress leaders’ second attempt to reach Hathras – the first, on Thursday, ended in a tussle that saw cops shove Mr Gandhi to the ground.

There was heavy police deployment on the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border with barricades on Delhi-Noida Direct (DND) flyway and scores of policemen deployed.

Priyanka Gandhi was driving a silver Toyota Innova with her brother Rahul Gandhi sitting next to her. They were headed to the DND toll plaza. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor also posted a picture of him driving a car and said he was headed to Hathras, about 180 km from the national capital.
