Besides, the team visited the rally site and Ferozeshah village to take stock of the sequence of events that took place on that day.
The prime minister's convoy was stranded on a flyover allegedly due to a blockade by farmers in Ferozepur, after which he returned from Punjab without attending any events, including a rally.
The top court had directed the Registrar General of the Punjab and Haryana High Court to provide all seized documents pertaining to the security arrangements made by the Punjab government for the PM's visit.
