Amritsar October 23:
SAD MLA from Beas Manjinder Singh Kang dubbed the claims of the state government regarding his security as “bundle of lies” and claimed that he had only four security personnel and three vehicles.
Kang said a majority of his security personnel and their arms and ammunition were taken away on Wednesday night when a “DSP, accompanied by seven others, barged into his Amritsar residence and ransacked it". He said out of the four guards on duty at his Amritsar home, only one is armed with an SLR. He also produced a copy of the order from the Additional DGP (Security) dated October 20, which enlists his new security setup in view of the threat perception report (TPR) by the Intelligence.
According to it, his security has been rationalised as five guards at his residence in native village, five guards at his Amritsar residence, four pilot, four escort, four PSOs and one NGO I/C security. The order says the remaining police personnel should be withdrawn immediately. However, Kang alleged that he didn’t even have the security as per these orders. In another order dated October 20, the Additional DGP (Security) has ordered the withdrawal of two vehicles from Kang’s security, leaving him with three vehicles, out of which, Kang said, the bullet proof vehicle was in a bad shape.
