Congress Leaders Missing After Protest at Haryana CM's Convoy, Police Say Absconding
Two Congress district presidents, Vardhan Rao and Pankaj Dawar, have been untraceable since August 21, following their black-flag protest at Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini's convoy in Gurugram. The Congress and the families claim they are missing, while police assert they are absconding related to a security breach case. Congress leaders, led by Rao Narender Singh, protested outside the Police Commissioner's office demanding information, withdrawal of FIRs, and independent medical examinations for alleged police custody assaults.
