A day after two children of a Dalit family died and their parents suffered burn injuries after their home was set on fire, allegedly by upper-caste Rajputs in Sunpedh village, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi will visit Faridabad today to meet the victims kin.

Tension gripped the locality yesterday after the incident.

The mother of the children is battling for life at Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has sought a report from Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on the incident.
