New Delhi:The Delhi Police officials left Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's residence on Sunday without taking a statement over his remarks on the sexual harassment of women in Jammu and Kashmir. Earlier in the day, several top officials of the Delhi Police arrived at the leader's residence in the national capital to gather information about the women facing sexual harassment in Kashmir to file a legal complaint.
Speaking to the press, Special CP (Law and Order), Sagarpreet Hooda said, "Rahul Gandhi said it was a long yatra and he met many people and needs time to compile it. He has assured us that he will give the information soon and we will begin our proceedings as soon as we receive the information."
SP Hooda along with DCP Pranav Tayal were seen outside Gandhi's residence after he failed to respond to the notice. "We've come here to talk to him. Rahul Gandhi gave a statement in Srinagar on Jan 30 that during Yatra he met several women & they told him that they had been raped...We're trying to get details from him so that justice can be given to victims," said SP Hooda.
The Congress leader had been served a notice on March 16 but he did not respond to it. While speaking to the public in Kashmir during Bharat Jodo Yatra, he claimed that several women approached him to speak about the issue of sexual harassment in the union territory.
Congress leaders like Ashok Gehlot, Jairam Ramesh, Imaran Pratapgarhi and Anand Sharma among others have reached Gandhi's residence in solidarity.
