Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi was today moved away from Jantar Mantar where he was leading a candle light march for ex-serviceman Ram Kishan Grewal, who had committed suicide.

According to a senior Delhi Police official, the Congress leader was secured in a police vehicle at the protest venue.

Maintaining that Mr. Gandhi was neither detained nor was taken to police station, the officer said, action was only to ensure Mr Gandhi’s safety.
