The Congress on Wednesday said that the Delhi Police entered its headquarters and detained its workers as Rahul Gandhi appeared before the ED for the third consecutive day in connection with the National Herald money laundering case.
The party and its leaders shared videos showing police personnel at the Congress HQ in Delhi.
Sharing one such video, Congress leader Karti Chidambaram said that the Delhi Police “was behaving like the private militia of BJP.”
Police deny entering Congress HQ
However, the Delhi Police have denied entering the Congress HQ.
“Many people threw barricades at police near the AICC office, so there might’ve been a scrimmage. But police didn’t go inside the AICC office and use lathi charge. Police are not using any force. We will appeal to them to coordinate with us,” ANI quoted Special Commissioner of Police (Law & Order) Sagar Preet Hooda as saying.
