NEW DELHI/CHANDIGARH: The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Centre and the state government to put on hold their probes into the security lapse during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Ferozepur visit and directed the high court registrar general to immediately secure all relevant records.
The directions by a bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana came on a day when a Central team investigating the lapse visited Ferozepur and met officials responsible for the security arrangements for the PM’s visit on Wednesday.
Sources in Punjab said the Union Ministry of Home Affairs has sent show-cause notices to Bathinda Senior Superintendent of Police Ajay Maluja and the five other officers.
Also, the Punjab government submitted a report to Centre, informing that an FIR has been registered against unidentified protesters.
The prime minister’s convoy was stranded on a flyover for nearly 20 minutes on Wednesday due to a blockade by farmers in Ferozepur.
He then returned from poll-bound Punjab without attending the planned events, including a rally. The Centre had accused the state’s Congress for the security breach and sought an immediate report from it.
