In security scare, seven people in car drive into Priyanka Gandhi’s house, request selfies

NEW DELHI: Amid Congresss allegations of dilution of the Gandhis security cover, a group of seven persons allegedly drove into the Lutyens Delhi home of Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and approached her for selfies on November 26.

Security personnel on duty on the day of the breach have been asked to file a report and the sequence of events is being established, sources said, adding that the CRPF is likely to clarify the matter on Tuesday.

They got out of the car, walked up to her and asked her to allow photographs with her. They claimed they had driven all the way from UP for a selfie.
