#NATIONAL..Priyanka Gandhi, stopped by UP cops earlier, now on way to meet kin of man who died in custody.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was stopped by Uttar Pradesh police at the Lucknow-Agra Expressway while she was on her way to meet the family of Arun Kumar, a member of the Valmiki community, who died in police custody. She was, however, later allowed to proceed on her way to Agra.

Earlier, Priyanka tweeted, “Arun Valmiki died in police custody. His family is seeking justice. I want to visit family. What is the UP government afraid of? Why am I being stopped? Today is Lord Valmiki Jayanti, PM spoke big on Mahatma Buddha, but is acting against his message.”
