Rahul Gandhi: Twitter restores Congress party member accounts

Twitter has restored the accounts of senior members from India's opposition party Congress, days after they shared pictures of the family of an alleged rape victim. Twitter said the accounts have now been restored after Mr Gandhi submitted formal consent from those pictured.
