Dy CM seeks security cover review, asks for bullet-proof vehicle after attack on Farooq Abdullah
JAMMU, Mar 16 (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary has asked for jammer and bullet-proof vehicles for his security cover in the wake of an assassination attempt on National Conference president Farooq Abdullah.
Seeking an immediate review of his security cover, Choudhary informed police authorities that a jammer vehicle was withdrawn from his motorcade nearly six months ago on the pretext of repairs and has not been restored.
Abdullah miraculously escaped gunfire attempted from point-blank range at a wedding function in Jammu on Wednesday. Kamal Singh, the 63-year-old accused, was overpowered and arrested on the spot.
