A commission set up by the Punjab government for looking into the alleged security breach during the Prime Minister’s Punjab visit, has shot off a questionnaire to all police functionaries involved in the process of maintaining security, including the state Director General of Police.

The commission headed by Justice Mehtab Singh Gill has set 5 pm on Thursday as deadline for the response.

Refusing to comment on the issue, Justice Gill asserted: “On the face of it, the matter appears to be of a very serious nature. Prima facie, there is a lapse somewhere, which the committee will look into before fixing the responsibility.”
