Several Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Shashi Tharoor were detained by the Delhi police during a protest against the Central government on price rise and unemployment on Friday.

Dressed in black, as several other party members did to register their protest against the government, Priyanka Gandhi jumped over police barricades put up on the road outside the party headquarters and squatted on the road, with police personnel asking her to move from there as section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) is in force in the entire area of New Delhi district except Jantar Mantar.
