Sanjay Raut asserted that Shiv Sena has differences with Congress. "Rahul Gandhi is a national political leader. We may have differences with Congress but nobody can support Police's behavior with him...His collar was caught and he was pushed to the ground, in a way it is gangrape of the country's democracy," said Sanjay Raut to a private media.
 
 
"We should not forget that Rahul Gandi is Indira Gandhi's grandson and Rajiv Gandhi's son. Both of them have sacrificed for the country. The country will never forgive this behavior done to Rahul Gandhi. The way in which action is being taken against Rahul Gandhi and others who raise voice is against the democracy of the country," he added.
 
A case has been registered against Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and over 200 others under section 188, 269, and 270 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Epidemic Act, according to the Gautam Buddh Nagar Police.
 
Earlier on Thursday, Rahul and Priyanka were arrested by the Uttar Pradesh Police at Yamuna Expressway for alleged violation of prohibitory orders while they were on the way to meet the Hathras incident victim's family. However, they were later released.
 
Both Congress leaders alleged they were manhandled and roughed up by police personnel while they were marching towards Hathras to meet the victim's family. Rebutting the allegations, Noida Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) Ranvijay Singh said that there was "no lathi charge" on anyone.
 
The 19-year-old had succumbed to injuries in the Safdarjung Hospital, a fortnight after she was allegedly gang-raped near her village in western UP.
