"UP police stopped me while I was going to meet the family of Darapuriji. A policewoman strangulated and manhandled me. They surrounded me while I was going on a party worker's two-wheeler, after which I walked to reach there," she said.
Gandhi said she was walking after she was stopped by police and they again stopped her.
"I was walking (after the car was stopped). I was surrounded, strangulated. They pushed me..by a woman police person. I fell down. They stopped me and then I went on a scooter of a party worker," she said.
Gandhi said she walked to reach Darapuri's home.
The Congress leader said the police stopped her without knowing where she was going. She said they told her that she cannot proceed further.
