New Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, and the son of the ex-serviceman who allegedly committed suicide were detained yesterday, report agencies.
An ex-serviceman allegedly committed suicide over the issue of One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme, triggering a political row, with Congress VP Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia rushing to the hospital, where they were prevented from seeing the Army Veteran's body.
Gandhi was not allowed to enter the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital where 70-year-old Ram Kishan Grewal's body was kept, while Sisodia was detained outside the hospital. The ex-serviceman's son was detained for allegedly contacting the political parties. Grewal from Haryana's Bhiwani district ended his life in the lawns behind the Jawahar Bhavan, which houses the Ministry of External Affairs, on Tuesday evening.
"Naya Hindustan ban raha hai bhaiya… this is Modiji's India, I am certain that I will meet Grewal's family,” a disgruntled Gandhi said.
Police said that Gandhi was detained for trying to enter the hospital despite being advised against it. "It's a hospital and not a place for demonstration. Rahul Gandhi was detained for trying to enter the hospital despite being advised otherwise," Delhi ACB chief MK Meena said.
