"The entire Congress is with them in this hour of great tragedy and loss and they will get full justice," the Congress leader told reporters at the burial ground where he paid tribute to the slain police officer after meeting his family at their home in Jaffuar tola here.
Rahul, who was with the family for over an hour, is believed to have been apprised of the events leading to the tragic incident in Kunda in Pratapgarh district last week and the family's struggle for justice.
