Investigations into the security breach of PM Modi’s visit to Ferozepur, where he was stuck on a flyover in Punjab, will be headed by a retired judge, Justice Indu Malhotra, the Supreme Court said today. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Punjab police will be part of the inquiry. “These questions cannot be left upon any one-sided enquiry. We need an independent probe and added that the inquiry committee would submit its report,” the Supreme Court said.
