Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday alleged that police pushed him, lathicharged and threw him to the ground when he and his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were marching on the highway between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh after their convoy was stopped on its way to Hathras, where they wanted to meet the family of the gang rape victim who died on Tuesday.

Noida ADCP Ranvijay Singh said, we have stopped them here because they are have violated the Epidemic Act. We will not allow them to proceed forward.

I want to ask, can only Modi Ji walk in this country? Can't a normal person walk? Our vehicle was stopped, so we started walking, said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at Yamuna Expressway,on his way to Hathras.

He also asked the police, "I want to walk to Hathras alone. Please tell me under which section are you arresting me."

Police said, "We are arresting you under Section 188 IPC for violation of an order. "

The Gandhis sat on the road with hundreds of supporters after the Uttar Pradesh police refused to let them continue.
