PM Modi's brother accuses Jaipur police of not providing him proper security
Prahlad Modi had protested by sitting in front of a police station in Jaipur for not being provided appropriate security.
JAIPUR: Accusing the police of denying him adequate security, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's brother Prahlad Damodardas Modi sat on a dharna at a police station on Tuesday.
Prahlad Modi had professed that he was not given a separate vehicle for policemen escorting him after arriving in Jaipur from Udaipur on Tuesday evening. He sat in front of Bagru police station (30 km from Jaipur) on the Jaipur-Ajmer National Highway in protest. "Wherever I go, the state government provides me with an escort vehicle, but it seems that the Jaipur Police Commissioner has issues with Prime Minister Modi or me. He refused to provide an escort vehicle," he told the press.
He said that the police commissioner had designated only two policemen, who were asked to travel in Prahlad Modi's car itself. "All I asked them was arrangement for travel of the two personal security officers (PSOs) accompanying me", he said. "I had no space in the car in which my family was also travelling."
