The Congress general secretary met kin, of two victims killed in the violence, who traveled from their village in Sonbhadra district to meet her.  

She also announced that Congress party will give 10 lakh each to victims' families and also provide them legal support. 

Ms. Priyanka also criticized that the Uttar Pradesh administration did not allow relatives of other victims to meet her or allow her to travel to Sonbhadra.

Earlier Ms. Priyanka said that she will not go back without meeting family members of the victims, and will not apply for bail as she did not commit any crime. 

Later Mirzapur District Magistrate said the Congress leader is free and can travel anywhere.

"After illegally detaining Priyankaji for 48 hours, the BJP government does a 'U-turn'. Despite converting Sonbhadra into a police camp, victims walk 70 Kms to meet Priyankaji and narrate the horrific massacre. She assures to fight for justice", tweeted Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala.
