Former Punjab legislator detained after breaching CM security cordon

A high-profile security breach marred Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's door-to-door campaign programme in Dhuri, Sangrur district, when former Congress legislator Dalwir Singh Goldy managed to slip past police cordons on a motorcycle. Goldy had requested a five-minute meeting with the Chief Minister the previous day, but was denied access. Undeterred, he made his way to the campaign site despite heavy police presence in the area. Police personnel at the venue immediately took Goldy into custody upon his arrival. The incident highlighted lapses in the security arrangements surrounding the Chief Minister's public engagements. Officials said the detention was precautionary and that standard protocols were followed. Further details regarding the duration of custody and formal charges, if any, were not immediately disclosed.
