The Supreme Court on Thursday read a report filed by five-member committee headed by a retired top court judge, Justice Indu Malhotra, as per which Ferozepur SSP failed to discharge his duty to maintain law and order during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Punjab visit.
CJI NV Ramana said, "Report says SSP Ferozpur failed to discharge his responsibilities to maintain law and order even though he was aware people had gathered." It was informed that the PM would be taking that route but SSP Firozpur failed to act on that.
"He (Ferozepur SSP) failed to do this even though sufficient force was available and even though he was informed 2 hours before that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will enter that route," SC said quoting the report.
The committee set-up by the Supreme Court suggested remedial measures to strengthen the security of the Prime Minister. The Supreme Court said it will send the report to the government so that steps are taken.
