Chandigarh: Two days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s security lapse incident in Punjab, the Supreme Court on Friday ordered the Registrar General of the Punjab and Haryana High Court to secure and preserve forthwith all records relating to the incident.
A Bench led by CJI NV Ramana directed the Punjab Government, police authorities, the SPG and other central agencies to give necessary assistance to the Registrar General to seal the entire record.
The order came on a petition filed by Lawyer’s Voice seeking a thorough probe into the lapse in the Prime Minister’s security during his visit to Punjab on January 5.
“Ask both the committees to hold their operations till Monday. This will not be in the order, but it’s understood,” the bench said.
