Security breach at PM Modi's roadshow in Karnataka's Hubbali, boy runs to him with garland

Bengaluru/IBNS: The security of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the highest in the country, was breached on Thursday in Karnataka's Hubbali as a boy suddenly jumped onto the road and managed to run up to an arm's length of him.

The boy was intercepted at the last minute and whisked away by the Prime Minister's Special Protection Group (SPG).

In videos, the boy was seen carrying a garland and apparently trying to felicitate the Prime Minister, who was riding on the running board of an SUV and waving to cheering crowds.

Even as the SPG men immediately blocked him, the Prime Minister was seen accepting the garland and handing it to a security official.

It is not yet known how the boy, who is 11 years old, managed to get so close to the Prime Minister in a highly secured and sanitized zone.

While hundreds of slogan-shouting supporters lined the road from the airport, they were well behind the barricades.

The Prime Minister held a roadshow from the airport to the Railway Sports Ground.

PM Modi gets five-layer security, of which the outermost layer is the responsibility of the state police.

Last year, his security was breached during a visit to Punjab while on his way to Ferozepur for an election rally on Jan 5.

In that incident, the Prime Minister's cavalcade was stopped for 20 minutes on a flyover in full view of television cameras due to a blockade by protesting farmers.

A committee probing the security breach found lapses on part of the Punjab police, the Supreme Court had said
