In a video shot inside Mandir Marg police station, where Rahul was taken following his detention after he tried to enter the RML hospital to meet the deceased Ram Kishan Grewal's family, the Congress leader was seen lashing out at a group of Delhi Police personnel for taking into custody some relatives of Grewal.
Pointing to Grewal's father and brother, Rahul demanded their release and termed their detention as "shameful"
Grewal, an ex-serviceman from Haryana's Bhiwani district, ended his life yesterday by allegedly consuming poison on the lawns behind a government building in Janpath, the central area of the capital. Grewal, who was a familiar face of OROP agitation, left behind a suicide note, his son said.
A family member of Grewal alleged that police manhandled them when the family was in trauma.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal too reached RML hospital and lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that he was lying on the 'One rank, One Pension' issue.
"The Prime Minister says OROP has been implemented, and soldiers are dying demanding it to be implemented. It means the PM is lying across the country.
"Then why did he commit suicide? The Centre is deceiving the army. I have come to meet his family. If anyone commits suicide in my state, should I not meet the family?
