Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were detained by Delhi Police during a protest near Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence and later released.

The protest demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET paper leak and police action against student protesters.
