For unversed, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was stuck on a flyover for 15-20 minutes during his visit to Punjab's Ferozepur earlier this month. The road was blocked by protesters opposing PM's visit to the poll-bound state.
The Ministry of Home Affairs labelled the incident as a "major lapse" in Prime Minister's security.
