NDTV
Rahul Gandhi presently has Z+ category security cover, meaning eight to nine commandos are guarding him 24x7.
A man in Punjab's Hoshiarpur today ran towards Congress MP Rahul Gandhi while he was walking during his pan-India foot march, the Bharat Jodo Yatra, and hugged him, raising concerns over his security cordon. A video clip of the incident showed a man lunging towards Mr Gandhi, who appears taken aback, and hugging him from the front, while security personnel and Congress workers pull the intruder away. Mr Gandhi then continues walking without pause.
The incident comes weeks after Congress flagged concerns over Mr Gandhi's security, alleging that there were several breaches. The grand old party demanded enhanced security cover for him. The Centre, and security forces, had shot back, saying Mr Gandhi himself had breached his security cover over 100 times since 2020.
Rahul Gandhi presently has Z+ category security cover, meaning eight to nine commandos are guarding him 24x7.
