NDTV
The police have told the media that the case against her and 10 others relates to preventive detention due to apprehension of breach of peace.
The Congress's Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, arrested yesterday while on way to Lakhimpur Kheri, said she has not been produced before a judicial officer or received any order, or notice, or copy of a First Information report. The police have told the media that the case against her and 10 others relates to preventive detention due to apprehension of breach of peace.
Ms Gandhi Vadra had intended to visit the families of farmers, who died on Sunday, allegedly mowed down by a vehicle driven by the son of Union Minister Ajay Mishra. The violence that followed had claimed the lives of another four persons.
The state police, which had placed the area under a security blanket since, arrested Ms Gandhi Vadra and Deepender Hooda the next morning after a huge, dramatic confrontation. Since then, she has been lodged at the PAC (Provincial Arms Constabulary) Guest House, from where her team released visuals of her sweeping the floor.
At the time of her arrest, prohibitory orders under Section 144, which bars the gathering of more than four persons, had been declared in Lakhimpur Kheri.
