A woman was detained after hurling a flower pot at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s convoy in New Delhi on Wednesday. She refused to clear the convoy’s path at Vijay Chowk, saying she was not being allowed to meet the Prime Minister.
The police took the woman to the Parliament Street police station after the incident. She is being jointly interrogated by central security agencies and the Delhi Police. It was not immediately clear why the woman wanted to meet the PM.
The woman, who lives in Sahibabad near Ghaziabad, approached the route of the convoy outside the South Block just before it was to leave the area. The pilot vehicle in the motorcade – the marshal vehicle — blocked her and other security personnel caught hold of her when the convoy passed. A senior police officer said she was able to enter the route as no women police officers were deployed at the spot.
