PM Modi Security Breach: SC Finds Punjab Police Officer Failed To Discharge Duty

The security breach had occurred during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Punjab in January 2022.

The Supreme Court on Thursday, 25 August, said that a committee, appointed by the apex court to look into the alleged lapses in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security during his visit to Punjab in January 2022, found that a Punjab police official had "failed" to discharge his duties.

The bench indicted the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Ferozepur, Hardeep Bhans, saying that he had "failed to discharge (his) duty and augment the route though sufficient time and forces were available."
