Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday hailed the Allahabad High Court’s order of summoning top government and police officers of Uttar Pradesh to assess their handling of the Hathras gang-rape case. Priyanka, the Congress general secretary for Uttar Pradesh, called the court’s summoning of officials a ray of hope and a strong and encouraging order. Priyanka and her brother Rahul Gandhi were briefly detained on their way to Hathras on Thursday.
The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court consisting of Justices Rajan Roy and Jaspreet Singh issued summons to the Uttar Pradesh additional chief secretary, DGP and ADGP , asking them to be present on October 12 to explain the case. The bench also ordered the Hathras district magistrate and senior superintendent of police to appear before it.
Vadra tweeted on Friday that the entire nation was demanding justice for the Hathras rape victim and the High Court order was a ray of hope amid the inhuman treatment meted out to the rape victim’s family by the UP government.
The High Court judges also summoned the family members of the Dalit woman, who was gang-raped on September 14 and succumbed to the injuries on September 29 in a Delhi hospital.

The court in its 11-page order took suo motu cognisance of the case and said the incidents shocked their conscience. The judges ordered the state to ensure that no coercion, influence or pressure was exerted upon the family members of the deceased, by anyone in any manner. The bench also asked officials to apprise the court of the status of the probe into the case.
Priyanka Gandhi in a series of tweets attacked UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the poor state of law and order in the state. She said law and order in Uttar Pradesh has deteriorated to a great extent and no semblance of safety exists for women. Criminals were committing crimes openly, she tweeted. She also demanded severe punishment for the rapist-killers.

After distributing the two-wheeler, Gandhi could be seen taking a ride pillion on a girl’s scooter and surrounded by other female students riding the scooter.
The video of Rahul Gandhi taking a ride pillion on a girl’s scooter has been shared widely on the internet.
Earlier in May this year, Rahul Gandhi took a joyride on a delivery boy’s scooter in Bengaluru as he hopped in the man’s two-wheeler and rode pillion.
In a video that was widely shared on the internet, the Gandhi scion, who was campaigning for the Congress ahead of the May 10 elections in Karnataka, was seen surrounded by a large crowd of supporters and party workers in the heart of Bengaluru city.
The former Wayanad MP then stops to console a little boy who apparently became emotional after meeting Gandhi and in the meantime a delivery man stops near the Congress leader as he’s comforting the kid.
Then, in the spur of the moment, Rahul Gandhi hops on the man’s scooter and puts on a helmet as the two slowly ride through the swarm of the leader’s supporters.
According to reports, Rahul Gandhi rode a pillion with the delivery agent for nearly 2 kms before he dropped the former Congress chief at his hotel.
The videos of Rahul Gandhi’s spontaneous scooter ride with the delivery agent went viral on social media with users appreciating the Congress scion’s down-to-earth style of connecting with people.
In another video, Rahul was also seen with the truck drivers on foreign soil and rode from Washington DC to New York with truck driver Taljinder Singh. During the 190-km long journey, the Congress leader and the truck driver exchanged their views regarding the working conditions of Indian and American truck drivers.
