Priyanka accuses cops of vandalising hostel

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has accused the Uttar Pradesh Police of assaulting students and vandalising their hostel in Prayagraj for allegedly protesting against unemployment in the city. Sharing a purported video of the incident on Twitter, Priyanka Gandhi said, "It is highly condemnable that police in Prayagraj are thrashing students and vandalising their lodges and hostels." "The administration should immediately stop this repressive action. The youth have every right to speak about employment and I am fully with them in this fight," she said. However, police said there was an apprehension of miscreants setting the trains on fire. So, personnel with riot control equipment reached the station and dispersed the protesters.
