The Commissioner said police was never asked either by Prime Minister Office or Home Ministry to visit Mr Gandhi's residence and asserted that there was no political pressure on the police.
"Two cops went to Rahul Gandhi's residence. Our beat officer Rameshwar went to his house on March 12 and sought details about him. As beat officers are not able to directly meet such persons, they contact their office staff and leave performa pertaining to required details," Mr Bassi said.
According to Mr Bassi, on the same day, the cop went to the houses of MP Krishan Pal Gujjar, Naresh Agarwal, M Veerappa Moily and Telengana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
Beat officers are instructed to meet the staff of important people living in the area falling under their jurisdiction and keep personal information about them, he also said.
Mr Bassi added that police keeps details of all vulnerable leaders like Amit Shah and Sonia Gandhi.
