On Friday, Rahul posted a controversial tweet with a picture of him meeting the family members of a nine-year-old Dalit girl who died following alleged sexual assault. The tweet was later taken down by the microblogging website for violating its rules. However, it is unclear whether Rahul's account has been suspended due to the controversial tweet or for some other reason.
