Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra today said that she was pushed and manhandled while being arrested by the Uttar Pradesh police in the early hours of morning and she was not shown any papers either.
She questioned why the police had not arrested Union Minister Ajay Kumar Mishra’s son Ashish, who is accused of running over protesting farmers at Lakhimpur Kheri district.
“They did not show me any papers. If they do not give me any papers, then I will call it kidnapping,” Priyanka told NDTV from a guest house in Sitapur where she was detained.
She said she was told she was arrested under Section 151 on grounds that she was “going to commit a crime in future”.
“If they don’t charge me in 24 hours under Section 151, I can walk free. I don’t have access to lawyers though I am told I have the right,” Priyanka Gandhi said.
