Kancheepuram district crime branch police have registered a case against miscreants who leaked the itinerary of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who visited Chennai to inaugurate the Defence Expo – 2018 held at Thiruvidanthai in Kancheepuram district. He also visited cancer institute on April12.
The DCB police registered a case under various charges including leaking official secret, which is against the Constitution of India, apart from 7 (1) (a) Criminal Law Amendment Act based on the complaint lodged by a sub-inspector of police in Kancheepuram. Despite the case registered at the DCB, Kancheepuram, the case has been forwarded to the CB-CID office for further investigation.
The police said that they strongly believe that leaking of Prime Minister’s itinerary is a breach of security and the probe is on to find out at what level the itinerary leaked to the agitators through media people. A police officer said, “The Prime Minister’s office took it serious after a few television channels and some newspapers carried detailed itinerary of the VVIP.”
It is true that the Press Information Bureau (PIB) will intimate the media people about the VVIP’s visit prior to their office through mail or through fax to intimate the journalists.
A state intelligence officer said, “We normally maintain two lists of VVIP itinerary and normally, we release the fake list, keeping the original one for police officers and officials incharge of the convoy.”
There are more likely that the intermediary officials either from police department or bureaucrat offices may have circulated these information to the agitators through media people to avoid being caught.
“We are also closely monitoring some of the journalists whatsapp groups, which have circulated the PM’s itinerary,” said another senior police officer probing the case.
