Man Caught Running Towards PM Convoy In Karnataka, Cops Deny Security Breach
A case of lapse in the security of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who went on Karnataka tour, has come to the fore. PM Modi was doing a roadshow at the concluding ceremony of BJP’s Vijay Sankalp Yatra in Bengaluru on Saturday. During this, a person broke his security cordon and started moving towards the PM. At present he has been taken into custody. Security agencies are interrogating the accused.
A man who jumped the barricade and ran towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s motorcade 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 was 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 (SPG) commando also ran after him.
“There was no (security) breach. It was an attempt to breach. He was stopped by the SPG. The man has been identified as Basavaraj Katagi from Koppal district. He came to Davangere in a bus to see PM Modi,” Mr Kumar told NDTV.
“Due to pressure on barricades put by the crowd, it fell down and Katagi attempted the breach… Legal action will be taken against him. We will also take preventive action against him so that it doesn’t repeat,” the police officer told. He also tweeted the same.
