The Supreme Court has held the Ferozepur SSP responsible in the case of security lapses in India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was on a state visit during the Punjab Assembly elections in India.

The Supreme Court has said that the Ferozepur SSP failed to perform his duty and because of this Prime Minister Narendra Modi's convoy remained on the road.

Chief Justice of India NV Ramanna in his order on Thursday, 25 August 2022 said, "Firozpur SSP could not ensure security on the route. The SSP could not perform his duty. There was enough time before the PM arrived. After getting the SSP order, the security system on the route could not be tightened.

The Supreme Court said, "All the witnesses and keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, proper training should be given to the police and they should be sensitized about these matters."

The Supreme Court said, "We will send this order to the Government of India and it should be allowed to decide on matters related to security as well as other aspects."

The Supreme Court has given this remark in view of the report submitted by former Justice Indu Malhotra.

The five-member committee headed by former Justice Indu Malhotra had filed the report in the Supreme Court. Some officers and police officers of Punjab were pointed out in this report.

On January 5, 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's convoy had to stand for a long time on the flyover of Ferozepur Road in Punjab. This area is only a few kilometers away from Pakistan.
