Congress workers were on Monday detained from outside the AICC headquarters here where they had gathered for a proposed march to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office with senior leader Rahul Gandhi ahead of the latter’s scheduled appearance later in the day.
Heavy deployment of police were seen outside the AICC office and Rahul Gandhi’s residence.
