Sources further said that an inquiry has been initiated by the CRPF for the security breach after a complaint was filed. 

G Kishan Reddy, MoS Home Affairs said that he doesn’t know the details of the security breach yet. “I don’t know the details yet, I am coming from Lok Sabha. I will go and discuss the matter with my officers,” Reddy said.  

The incident came after the Centre recently withdrew the highest level Special Protection Group (SPG) protection given to the Gandhi family (Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra). The trio is now given Z+ security cover by the CRPF across India.  The Central government said that the decision was taken after assessing that the threat perception to the family which has been lowered. 

The Gandhis had been under the highest security ever since the assassination of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991 by terror groups from Sri Lanka.
