Delhi Police arrested Indian National Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi on Monday morning as they led a protest march towards the Election Commission office in Delhi. The protest, organized by the India Alliance, was against alleged voter fraud in Bihar’s 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Authorities stated the march lacked official permission. The Congress and allied parties strongly oppose the Election Commission’s new voter eligibility rules for Bihar, which discard previously accepted documents like Aadhaar and voter ID cards in favor of 11 alternative proofs, including birth certificates and passports.
