Good evening! Here are the top stories in your evening news bulletin. Surrounded by hundreds of Congress workers, Rahul Gandhi on Monday led a mega ‘Satyagraha’ march to the Enforcement Directorate office in Delhi. Shortly after, the ex Congress chief appeared for questioning in the National Herald corruption case. The party has been holding demonstrations against the alleged misuse of probe agencies by the BJP-led central government. Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot and his other top party colleagues were detained. “Today, the way the peaceful march of the Congress party is being stopped, this dictatorship is being watched by the whole country. The Congress headquarters have been cordoned off, police have been deployed all around, leader-workers are being detained. I have also been detained along with my associates while going to the ED office,” Gehlot tweeted after Gandhi’s questioning began at the ED office. KC Venugopal and Deepender Hooda were also among those detained. Special Commissioner of the Delhi Police (law and order) Sagar Preet Hooda said the cops had asked Congress leaders – who took to the streets as part of the mega ‘Satyagraha’ march on Monday as Rahul Gandhi appeared before the ED for questioning in a money laundering case – to go to Jantar Mantar in central Delhi if they wanted a big gathering. Barely 12 days after 14 cadres of a militant outfit operating in Manipur laid down arms, one of the senior most leaders of the outlawed Revolutionary People’s Front (PLA) surrendered and joined the mainstream on Monday, an event chief minister Nongthombam Biren Singh called a “homecoming”. The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) on Sunday evening arrested two Chinese nationals after they were caught illegally crossing the Indo-Nepal border in Bihar’s Sitamarhi district.
