Three police officers were suspended due to a security lapse during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Ranchi, according to a police official. The suspension came after a woman unexpectedly ran in front of the PM’s convoy en route to Bhagwan Birsa Munda Memorial Park-cum-Freedom Fighter Museum on Wednesday morning. The woman, identified as Sangita Jha, was swiftly apprehended by the security forces and taken into custody.
The suspended officers are ASI Abu Zafar, constable Chotelal Tudu, and constable Ranjan Kumar. Sangita Jha, reportedly upset with her husband, wanted to lodge a complaint against him. Ranchi SSP Chandan Kumar Sinha stated that the woman had marital disputes and sought her husband’s salary to be credited to her account. She had previously traveled to Delhi in October to meet the Prime Minister and stayed for 10 days but was unsuccessful. After trying to meet the President as well, she returned to her in-laws’ house in Deoghar.
According to the police, Jha came to Ranchi upon learning of the PM’s visit and attempted to meet him during the roadshow on Tuesday night. Failing that, she tried to visit Raj Bhavan on Wednesday. Disappointed after her efforts, she unexpectedly approached the PM’s convoy on Radium road.
“The woman wants the salary of her husband to be credited in her bank account. In this regard, she also went to Delhi in October this year to meet the prime minister and stayed there for 10 days. After failing, she also tried to meet the President. When all efforts went in vain, she returned to her in-laws’ house in Deoghar,” the SSP said.
Ranchi Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Chandan Kumar Sinha said , “During interrogation, the woman said that she was married to a man at Jamuni village in Jharkhand’s Deoghar district in 2012. But, a dispute between them started in 2016.” There was a regular scuffle between them.
During his visit, the PM held a roadshow, paid tribute to Birsa Munda, visited Ulihatu village, and launched a development project for Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs). He also flagged off the ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra,’ released funds under the PM-KISAN scheme, and inaugurated projects worth Rs 7,200 crore in the state.
