Air Force Logs, Blue Book To Be Examined In PM Security Breach Probe

"If SPG had followed its drills then a safe house enroute would have been earmarked by them," a former Intelligence Bureau Director told NDTV.

The Supreme Court has appointed a five-member committee to probe the security breach during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Punjab on January 5.

During the visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was stranded ten kilometres from the Pakistan border when he was on his way to address a political rally in Ferozepur.

The committee, headed by former Supreme Court judge Indu Malhotra, will also probe is there was any criminal conspiracy in the incident.

"Indian Air Force logs would be scanned to see what reports were handed by them to SPG and whether they had given security clearance for the chopper to fly PM from Bhatinda to rally site or if they had declined like is being projected," a senior NIA official told NDTV.
