Karnataka: In a serious security breach, a mobile phone was thrown towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vehicle on Sunday during his roadshow in Mysuru, Karnataka. In order to boost the BJP’s campaign for the Karnataka assembly elections, Modi was staging a massive roadshow.
On both sides of the road, a large number of people and BJP supporters had gathered to greet the Prime Minister. The phone was hurled out of “excitement” by a woman BJP worker who had no “ill-intention”, police told.
Visuals showed the phone landing on the bonnet of the vehicle and they are being flagged by the PM. As the rally continued, the PM directed it to the attention of the Special Protection Group sleuths who were accompanying him.
