In a video doing rounds of social media, a phone can be seen landing on the bonnet of the vehicle PM Modi was present. The incident did not go unnoticed by the prime minister who indicated about the object to the Special Protection Group (SPG) sleuths who were accompanying him.
"The Prime Minister was under the protection of the SPG. The lady (whose phone fell on PM's vehicle) was a BJP worker. The SPG people returned it to her later," Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order), Alok Kumar told PTI.
"In the excitement (of the event), it was thrown and she had no (ill) intention but we are trying to trace the lady because the phone was handed over to her by the SPG sleuths," he added.
