New Delhi: Delhi Police on Sunday stopped a torch rally taken out by the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) to protest the disqualification of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from the Lok Sabha, and also detained the IYC members.
IYC president Srinivas B.V. along with women workers were detained when they arrived at Lutyens’ Delhi area. They were made to sit on a bus and taken away.
