Initial Probe Into PM Security Breach In Punjab Points At Planning Failure: Sources

The Supreme Court-appointed committee, headed by former Supreme Court judge Justice Indu Malhotra, is also probing if there was any criminal conspiracy in the incident and the role of Punjab Police officers in under probe

The committee probing the security breach of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in the last stages of collecting evidence. So far the probe is heading towards "planning failure" on PM Modi's visit to Punjab in January this year.

"The committee is collecting evidence from all stakeholders concerned and compiling it together. So far it appears to be a planning failure but we are still in the process of taking a final view," a senior government official said.

The Supreme Court-appointed committee, headed by former Supreme Court judge Justice Indu Malhotra, is also probing if there was any criminal conspiracy in the incident and the role of Punjab Police officers in under probe.

PM Modi's cavalcade was grounded on January 5, leaving him stranded for 20 minutes on a flyover about 30 km from Hussainiwala.
