Delhi Police at Rahul's doorstep: Worst case of political vendetta, harassment, says Cong

New Delhi, Mar 19 (PTI) The Congress Sunday termed Delhi Police's action against Rahul Gandhi the worst case of "political vendetta" and "harassment" while asserting the Centre was setting a wrong precedent as central ministers may face similar action in states.

A police team headed by Special Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Sagar Preet Hooda arrived at Rahul Gandhi's 12, Tughlaq Lane, residence around 10 am on Sunday and was able to meet the Congress leader after two hours, officials said, adding the team left around 1 pm.

According to the police, Gandhi stated in Srinagar during the Bharat Jodo Yatra that "I have heard that women are still being sexually assaulted", and since the Yatra had passed through Delhi also, they wanted to ascertain if any victim had approached the Congress leader here so that they can initiate a probe into the matter.
