The Supreme Court on January 12 formed an enquiry committee, headed by retired top court judge Justice Indu Malhotra, to investigate PM Modi’s security breach in Punjab.
The apex court bench comprising of Chief Justice N V Ramana and comprising Justices Surya Kant and Hima Kohli appointed Director General or his nominee not below the rank of Inspector General of Police of National Investigation Agency (NIA), Director General of Police of Union Territory of Chandigarh, and Additional Director General of Police (Security) of Punjab as members of the probe panel.
Outlining five terms of reference for the committee, the court said, “What were the causes for the security breach for the incident on 5th January 2022? Who are responsible for such a breach, and to what extent? What should be the remedial measures or safeguards necessary for the security of the Prime Minister or other protectees?”
