Mumbai Police apprehended three individuals on Tuesday for attempting to force unauthorized vehicular and physical entry into a luxury commercial mall in the Bandra-Kurla Complex, which fell within the sanitized high-security zone established for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s official visit.
The incident occurred during final security rehearsals conducted by the Special Protection Group and local police commandos ahead of the Prime Minister’s scheduled keynote address at the neighboring financial summit venue. Security personnel posted at vehicular checkpoints intercepted an unregistered sports utility vehicle attempting to breach barricades without mandatory security passes.
Upon being challenged by armed sentries, the occupants engaged in heated verbal altercations and physically jostled police officers, prompting quick-response tactical teams to surround the vehicle and detain the suspects. Investigators carried out an exhaustive anti-sabotage search of the vehicle using bomb disposal squads and trained sniffer dogs, confirming the absence of hazardous explosive devices or contraband.
The three suspects were booked at the BKC police station under charges relating to obstructing public servants on duty, unlawful assembly, and endangering personal safety. Intelligence agencies interrogated the individuals to verify their affiliations and ascertain whether the trespass represented an orchestrated provocation or reckless insubordination.
