Noida : Two policemen, who were in-charge of piloting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cavalcade during his visit to the city on December 25, have been suspended for taking the convoy on a wrong route and causing a security breach. SSP Love Kumar has suspended the two policemen for the security lapse. The suspended policemen are Sub Inspector Dilip Singh and police driver Jaipal.
They were in the vehicle ahead to lead the prime minister's motorcade, PRO in the SSP's office Manish Saxena said. The two policemen took a wrong turn as a result of which the prime minister's cavalcade was caught in traffic for two minutes near Mahamaya Flyover. Traffic policemen then rushed and cleared the route for smooth passage.
