NEW DELHI: In a major security breach at the Lodhi estate home of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi, seven unknown persons in a car drove up to the porch of her house and walked up to her to ask for photographs. The security breach occurred on November 26. The Congress general secretarys office has taken up the issue with the Central Reserve Police Force. According to sources, the car drove right up to the porch near the garden at her home with three men, three women and a girl coming out of the vehicle.They walked up to Priyanka Gandhi and asked for photos to be taken with her. According to sources, the CRPF has written to Delhi Police claiming that the entry and access is maintained by Delhi Police. The Centre last month replaced the SPG (Special Protection Group) cover of the family of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, assassinated by LTTE terrorists on May 21, 1991, with Z-plus security provided by the Central Reserve Police Force. Under Z-plus security, they are being protected by CRPF commandos in close proximity besides guards at their homes and where ever they travel in the country. The Gandhis are without SPG protection after 28 years. They were included in the VVIP security list following an amendment in September 1991 in the SPG Act of 1988. On November 27, the Lok Sabha passed a bill to amend the SPG Act. According to the amendment, the SPG will now protect the prime minister and members of his immediate family residing with him at his official residence. It will also provide security to former prime ministers and their immediate family members staying with them at the residence allotted for a period of five years from the date on which they cease to hold the office. "As per the new arrangement, both CRPF and Delhi Police are responsible for the security of the Priyanka Gandhis residence at 35 lodhi estate. Some miscommunication seems to have occurred on the day of the incident. Necessary corrective measures have been initiated," said a senior police official.
