CHANDIGARH: A battery of Punjab ministers, MLAs and rank and file of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab campaigning in the national capital for the high-stakes assembly polls are giving Delhi Police security jitters.

Delhi Police officers have now asked their Punjab counterparts to inform them well in advance about the movement and security details of leaders from the northern state.

People aware of the matter said Delhi Police raised the issue following reports that VIPs from Punjab are not following due protocols to inform the local police about their movements in the national capital, and are seen moving around with pilot vehicles without sharing details of their movements with local police.
