A large number of people and BJP supporters had gathered on both sides of the road to greet the Prime Minister. The phone was hurled out of “excitement” by a woman BJP worker who had no “ill-intention”, police told PTI.
The phone landing on the bonnet of the vehicle after it was flung at the vehicle did not go unnoticed by the Prime Minister who indicated about the object to the Special Protection Group (SPG) sleuths who were accompanying him.
“The Prime Minister was under the protection of the SPG. The lady (whose phone fell on PM’s vehicle) was a BJP worker. The SPG people returned it to her later,” Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order), Alok Kumar told PTI.
