Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday paid an unscheduled visit to the families of the youth allegedly killed in police firing during protests against the new Citizenship Act in Nehtaur town of Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor district.

Priyanka Gandhi met and consoled the families of Suleman and Anas who were allegedly killed in police firing on Friday during protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Three others were injured in the firing.

She also met the family members of Omraj Saini, who was shot at by the police and is presently undergoing treatment at a hospital in Meerut.

Later, speaking with mediapersons, Priyanka Gandhi said: "People have died in an unprecedented incident which should be probed into. I have come to know that the family members of the victims were harassed by the police when they went to lodge FIRs against the police. Also, the CAA is anti-people, anti-poor. Those who are living here for centuries will now be asked for papers."
