Twice today - in the afternoon and then again in the evening- opposition leader Rahul Gandhi was detained by the Delhi police as he tried to meet with the family of the army veteran who committed suicide allegedly over an insufficient pension. "Did I make a mistake by offering condolences to the family?" asked Mr Gandhi after he was freed at night.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted this evening that he had also been "formally detained" as he was driving to the police station where the former serviceman's relatives had been kept, allegedly for hours. He was later taken to the RK Puram police station, where Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and minister Gopal Rai are also detained.
The death of Subedar Ram Kishen Grewal, 65, who drank poison at a government building on Tuesday has corralled opposition leaders into attacking the government for failing to implement the One-Rank-One-Pension (OROP) scheme
