1n All this talk of “security breach” is fine, but let’s see how badly the PM’s own security detail botched up consistently shall we? Watch this video first
2n security breach no1 - notice the PMs car is standing on the exposed side of an elevated highway. An elevation automatically exposes the target - and here the car should have been flanked by the escort vehicles on all sides. The concrete side barriers come only upto waist level 
3 exposing the entire upper body, which is already vulnerable due to the glass (albeit bulletproof- still weaker than metal/Kevlar). Notice the the trees at the back? Now watch how the SPG will actually make this situation worse. The door is opened twice to enter the car giving
4 any sharpshooter on those trees direct line of sight to the back of the Prime Minister’s head. Finally watch this video - where security move the PM’s car to be flanked on one side by another fortuner, yet again exposing the PM to the same - one side unprotected - situation
5 notice how slowly the movement is taking place? The SPG would’ve seen these chaps coming from a distance and yet moved to protect the PM only at the last minute after these chaps got close. Just the sheer number of obvious cockups visible in these two
6 videos is mind blowing. Mind you the ones I’ve pointed out are not by Punjab police but by the PM’s own security who seem a fantastically incompetent lot without any assistance from the Punjab police.
7 and yes this was also a major security breach - it was “man of the people” stunts like this that led to Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination. This was particularly inexcusable because clearly this man had not been vetted and that bag/cap could’ve been explosives
