Alleging a conspiracy behind her entry being stopped, she said, “I wanted to meet the families of Jaiprakash and Rahul Yadav but was not given permission. I was willing to enter the village alone but even then I was not allowed. Owaisi, who comes from Hyderabad can meet (families) but I am not allowed entry.”

Meanwhile, 19 persons, who claimed to be associated with BJP MP from Gorakhpur, Yogi Adityanath’s Hindu Yuva Vahini group, were arrested near the village. “A group of seven persons were trying to enter the village from the main entrance but they were stopped by the police.

“All the 19 have been arrested under Section 151 of IPC (Knowingly joining or continuing in assembly of five or more persons after it has been commanded to disperse),” he added.
