State police, government ignored Blue Book protocols on security despite pre-planning, say officials
The sequence of events and facts related to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security breach on Wednesday clearly indicate that the Punjab government and the State police completely failed to provide effective security, said government sources. The Prime Minister’s road journey had been planned following a clearance from the State Director-General of Police (DGP), according to the sources.
The sources said advance security liaison (ASL) meetings were held and intelligence inputs on sabotage possibilities shared, but the State police did not take necessary measures and also did not adhere to the Special Protection Group's (SPG) Blue Book guidelines on the Prime Minister's security.
