Following a heated discussion in the Rajya Sabha on Monday, the Congress Party staged a walkout in protest against the Delhi Police visiting the official residence of Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi to make personal inquiries.
Delhi Police personnel visited Rahul Gandhi's residence last week and also sought details about his height and colour of eyes and hair.
A team, led by Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Jatin Narwal, visited Gandhi's Tughlak Lane residence to enquire about the sequence of events.
The team also checked the pictures of the policemen who had visited Rahul's residence a couple of days ago and enquired about the colour of Congress leader's eyes and hairs.
The Delhi Police on Saturday said it was a routine security enquiry and that there was no malafide intention behind it.
