A potential threat to Prime Minister Narendra Modi was thwarted by the Special Protection Group (SPG) during his recent visit to Kyiv, Ukraine. The incident occurred when PM Modi was scheduled to pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at a statue in Kyiv.
According to sources, the SPG detected a suspicious person lurking around the venue, who was reportedly behaving in a erratic manner. The individual was subsequently detained and questioned by the Ukrainian security officials, who found that he was carrying a small packet with an unknown substance.
The packet was later examined by experts, who determined that it was harmless. However, the incident sparked a high-level security alert, and the SPG took swift action to ensure the Prime Minister’s safety.
PM Modi’s visit to Kyiv was part of his diplomatic outreach to Ukraine, and the incident did not disrupt his schedule. The SPG’s prompt response and vigilance were credited with preventing a potential threat to the Prime Minister’s security.
The incident highlights the importance of the SPG’s role in ensuring the safety and security of India’s top leaders, particularly during foreign visits. The organization’s expertise and quick thinking averted a potential crisis, allowing PM Modi’s trip to proceed smoothly.
