Uttar Pradesh Congress workers were prevented by police on January 2 from holding a protest in Varanasi outside the Prime Minister’s constituency office.
The protest was to draw attention to the alleged involvement of BJP IT cell office-bearers in a case of molestation on the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-BHU campus. The Congress workers were demanding an apology from the PM, who also happens to be the local MP. The workers were stopped by the district police from reaching the office in Bhelupur locality. This led to a clash between Congress workers and policemen.
