The Supreme Court has started the hearing on the plea seeking an urgent judicial probe into the breach of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security during his visit to Punjab's Ferozepur on Wednesday. The plea alleges that PM's security breach was a deliberate lapse on part of the State government and stern action should be taken against "erring" officials of Punjab government.

Senior advocate Maninder Singh mentioned the matter on Thursday before the top court while terming it a serious lapse and sought a probe. A Bench of Chief Justice of India NV Ramana, Justices Surya Kant, and Hima Kohli asked Singh, who was appearing for an organization, Lawyer's Voice, which has filed the plea, to also serve a copy of the petition to the Punjab government.
