Guwahati, July 21 -- Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were detained by Delhi Police on Tuesday after staging a sit-in outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence over the police action against students protesting the NEET paper leak issue.

Police cleared the protest site near the Prime Minister's residence and detained several Opposition leaders. Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav was also taken into custody during the operation.

Before being detained, Akhilesh Yadav questioned the Centre's response to the students' demands, saying, "The Prime Minister's responsibility is to listen to the students' demands. Why is he not accepting their demands?"
