The Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday allowed Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and three others to visit Lakhimpur Kheri where eight people, including four farmers died in Sunday’s violence.

UP Police refused to allow the Lok Sabha MP to leave in his own transport and insisted he takes a police car, citing his ‘security’.
