Delhi Police at Rahul Gandhi's doorstep over 'women being sexually assaulted' remark; Cong alleges harassment, political vendetta
A Delhi Police team on Sunday met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at his residence as part of an inquiry initiated in the wake of his remark that "women are still being sexually assaulted” made during the Bharat Jodo Yatra and asked him to provide information about the "victims" to take up their complaints, officials said.
An angry Congress condemned the Delhi Police action and attacked the central government, calling it the "worst case of harassment and political vendetta", but the BJP rejected the charge and said the police was "only discharging its lawful duty".
The police team headed by Special Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Sagar Preet Hooda arrived at Gandhi's 12, Tughlaq Lane residence in the high security area at around 10 am and was able to meet the Congress leader after two hours, officials said, adding it left at around 1 pm.
