Delhi Police Visits Rahul Gandhi’s Residence; Congress Outraged, Will Lodge Protest


Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Mar 14, 2015:  Angered by a visit from the Delhi Police to the residence of Rahul Gandhi, the Congress today said it will lodge a protest against what it calls is an intrusion of the party vice president’s privacy.

rahul-gandhi_The Congress has claimed that policemen last week visited Mr Gandhi’s residence, 12 Tuglak Lane, and asked for details of the 44-year-old Congress leader’s appearance, like the colour of his eyes and hair. The party has questioned the need for such an exercise given that the Congress vice president is already a Special Protection Group (SPG) protectee and has Z-plus security - the highest in the country.

"Getting into the privacy of the individual is a crime. Rahul Gandhi is a famous person who has nothing to hide," said senior Congress leader PC Chacko.

The Delhi Police has refuted the allegations, saying it was a routine visit as part of a security audit and no personal questions were asked.

The police also said this was an exercise done for all members of Parliament on a regular basis.

Mr Gandhi, 44, is currently on a "leave of absence" and is expected to return to Delhi by March end. The Congress has said Mr Gandhi is "abroad for introspection and soul searching before starting a new journey in his life."

The timing of Mr Gandhi’s sabbatical has caused controversy; he left just as the crucial Budget Session of Parliament began.
