A Punjab SP, Gurbinder Singh, was on Saturday suspended in the case involving PM Narendra Modi’s security lapse in the state in 2022.
He was posted at Bathinda. The SP has been accused of dereliction of duty.
The security breach happened on January 5, 2022, when Modi was on his way to Hussainiwala in Ferozepur and his cavalcade had to take a U-turn after protesters blocked his way.
The Prime Minister was stuck on a flyover for around 20 minutes.
According to the suspension order, a report dated October 18, 2023, on the incident was submitted by the Punjab Director-General of Police in which the state police chief said that Singh did not perform his duty properly.
After consideration of the matter at the level of the competent authority, the officer concerned is suspended with immediate effect, said the order issued in Punjabi.
