While the UP government had earlier denied permission to Rahul Gandhi, his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has been in detention in Sitapur's PAC compound since early Monday.
Family members of farmer Gurvinder Singh had earlier refused to cremate him, claiming that he was shot dead but the post-mortem report had no mention of it.
Police said DMs of the districts raised concerns that Gandhi's visit could create problems. Prohibitory orders are also in place in Sitapur where Priyanka Gandhi is under detention.

Gurvinder Singh was among the 4 farmers killed in Sunday’s violence at Lakhimpur Kheri. His family refused to cremate him Tuesday, reiterating the allegation that he was shot dead.
