Security Breach During PM Modi Rally In Karnataka's Davanagere Today

This was the second attempted security breach of Prime Minister Narendra Modi after a similar incident in Karnataka's Hubballi district

A man who tried to jump the barricade and run towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi during an election road show was intercepted by the police in Karnataka's Davangere today. This was the second attempted security breach after a similar incident in the BJP-ruled state's Hubballi district.

The intruder has been identified as a young man from Koppal district. He is being questioned by the police.

Senior police officer Alok Kumar on seeing the man try to breach the barricade ran towards him and intercepted him. A Special Protection Group commando also ran after him.

In January, a boy jumped on the road suddenly and managed to get within an arm's length of PM Modi in Karnataka's Hubballi. He was intercepted at the last minute and whisked away by the SPG.
