NEW DELHI: In a security lapse, a 20-year-old woman today broke barricades and threw a flower pot in Rajpath in the heavily guarded Raisina Hills area less than a minute before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s convoy was to pass through.
The woman identified as Neena Rawal, a resident of Sahibabad in Uttar Pradesh, was detained and questioned at the Parliament Street police station before she was taken for a medical check-up.
The incident took place at around 2:10 PM when Modi’s convoy was leaving from South Block, leaving the security personnel in the area into tizzy.
The woman was part of the crowd which was asked to clear the road and assemble at a pavement near Vijay Chowk as PM’s convoy was to pass through the area. She became furious when police told her to move further aside, DCP (New Delhi) Jatin Narwal. (AGENCIES)
