Wearing a blue T-shirt and surrounded by Special Protection Group (SPG) security, he visited a famous ‘sharbat’ vendor in the Matia Mahal area and other street food eateries. He treated himself to fruits and also had a taste of ‘gol gappas’ at Nathu sweets at the Bengali market.

In the pictures shared on social media, Gandhi was seen mobbed by the people who were elated to see the former Congress chief. He also interacted with some people and then went straight to a gol gappa stall and enjoyed the chat.

A large crowd gathered around him in old Delhi’s narrow streets and even raised slogans.

Gandhi has often been seen visiting popular eating joints in the national capital.

He was on March 23 sentenced to two years in jail by a court in Gujarat’s Surat in a 2019 criminal defamation case over his “why all thieves have the Modi surname” remark. A day later, he was disqualified from the Lok Sabha from the date of his conviction in the case. The Gandhi scion had made those remarks at Kolar in April 2019 during the Lok Sabha poll campaign.
