Rahul Gandhi’s movements, a cause of concern

The Mumbai police were kept in tenterhooks after Rahul Gandhi opted for the common route from the Leela Hotel where he was staying to the Wankhede Stadium. The politician and Member of Parliament also made two halts – once to catch the view from the Rajiv Gandhi Setu Bridge and then at a restaurant for a meal.

These two unscheduled stops also had the police in a tight spot as they were concerned of Rahul’s safety. Police sources confirmed that Rahul did not take the VVIP route earmarked for reaching the Wankhede Stadium where the World Cup finals was played.
