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.

Police deny allegations made by brother of Raman Kashyap, say he died after he was taken to hospital. Journalist Raman was one of 8 people killed in Lakhimpur Kheri Sunday.
Journalists’ body says there are competing versions about Raman Kashyap’s death, but it’s clear he was on assignment, so probe is needed to establish cause.
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.

The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
