New Delhi: A team of Delhi Police's Crime Branch visited the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) office in Delhi and questioned Youth Congress chief Srinivas BV about the COVID-19 aid provided by the organisation.
"They (Crime Branch officials) wanted to know the details of how are we helping people. We answered all their questions," Srinivas told the media.
The Delhi High Court had asked the police to conduct an enquiry following a plea about politicians involved in "illegal distribution" of COVID medicines among other things.
Youth Congress has started a free ambulance service for COVID-19 patients in need of transportation from their homes to hospitals and apart from taking some other measures.

Earlier, police also asked AAP leader Dilip Pandey how he was managing to help Covid affected families with medicines and oxygen cylinders.
Hitting back at the Congress for politicising the issue, Delhi BJP spokesperson Harish Khurana said, "The Delhi Police is conducting an enquiry on the orders of the High Court. It is not so that only AAP or Congress people are being investigated."
"Two days ago, a team of Crime Branch officials came to enquire from where I am arranging medicines, hospital beds and other items for Covid patients," Khurana, son of Delhi's former Chief Minister Madanlal Khurana, said.
