UP cops manhandled me: Priyanka Gandhi while visiting arrested activist’s house
High drama broke out in Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow when Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was allegedly stopped and roughed-up by the police while on her way to meet families of two activists arrested during anti-Citizenship Amendment Act in the city. News agency ANI said Gandhi was going to visit families of Sadaf Jafar and former IPS officer SR Darapuri, who have been arrested during protests. Gandhi said that cops obstructed the vehicle she was travelling in abruptly and said she could not go further. Gandhi said, she defied the police and perched on the back of a party worker's scooter and headed to her destination. She alleges cops stopped her again forcing her to continue on foot but that didn't help as she was stopped again by a female cop, who also treated her roughly.
