While going through the report submitted by the Committee headed by retired Supreme Court judge, Justice Indu Malhotra, CJI Ramana said,
“There are remedial measures and safeguards needed for PM security. It is suggested that a oversight committee be constituted, training of police officers as per blue book, security planning for VVIP visits…”
Revealing the findings of the Committee, the Court stated,
“Ferozepur SSP failed to discharge his duty to maintain law and order. He failed to do this even though sufficient force was available and even though he was informed 2 hours before that PM Modi will enter that route.”
Taking this into account, the Committee had suggested some remedial measures to strengthen the security of the Prime Minister.
“We will send the report to the government so that steps are taken,” CJI Ramana said.
The Bench also refused to provide a redacted copy of the Committee’s report to the police officers in question.
