Blrpost.com impact: ISD notifies DG&IG on security breach by MLC Kishor during Modi event
Bengaluru
The Internal Security Division (ISD) has notified the Director-General and Inspector-General of Police (DG&IG) M A Saleem of an alleged security breach involving MLC Kishor Kumar Puttur at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s event. The event was held on November 28 at Udupi district.
A source in the Home Department said as soon as ISD learnt about the breach, it was reported to DG IG. The matter is on DG&IG’s table and it is upto him to take it forward. Blrpost.com had reported about the breach. The source said this was notified to the top cop on December 5.
MLC Kishor Kumar Puttur lied to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and secured entry to his wife to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The wife identified as Priti Dasu Bhandari greeted Modi during his event at Udupi on November 28.
MLC Kumar while providing information about his wife (Priti Dasu Bhandari) gave in writing that his spouse is District Vice President, Mahila Morcha, BJP. However, according to Kumar’s affidavit submitted in 2024 during MLC polls, she is Vice President of G M Amusement and Leisure Park. She has movable assets worth ₹ 46.85 lakh. Kumar hails from Puttur in Dakshina Kannada district. Bhandari holds no positions in the BJP and is just an ordinary member of the party
The ISD has considered this as a major security breach. Besides this amounts to forgery and impersonation, an officer in the ISD told this news blog. The ISD prepared a brief report and forwarded the same to the DG&IG.
Bhandari on the day of the event was seen greeting Modi personally while receiving at the airport. The photo also suggests that she instructed someone to click pictures when she was with the PM. The PMO seems to be unaware about this alleged fraud committed by Kishor and his wife. The PM arrived here to attend an event at Sri Krishna Mutt in Udupi district.
The State unit of the BJP is mum on the subject and yet to initiate any action. This shows that the BJP headed by President B Y Vijayendra seems to be not serious about the breach.
