Some deeply contentious questions asked by a couple of officers from the Delhi Police force has divided civil opinion on all social platforms and triggered several conspiracy theories over the the weekend.

What is the colour of Rahul Gandhi's eyes? What is his hair colour?

Some officers from the Delhi Police who claimed they were on a routine security audit had visited the house of the scion of Nehru-Gandhi political dynasty recently and asked a bunch of questions to Gandhi's staff — completely unsettling them and starting a chain reaction in political circles leading to allegations of espionage. The men also asked the flummoxed Gandhi staff about his age, the places he regularly visits, his height and what kind of shoes he wears.

While we can't do much to help with the queries about the after hours movement of one of India's most protected men, these reasonably closeup shots of Gandhi can help end the speculation about two things - his eye and hair colour.
