Overview

• The September 10 communication, confirmed by Congress as signed by CRPF director general Gyanendra Pratap Singh, was sent to Mallikarjun Kharge and marked to Rahul Gandhi.
• The letter lists travel to Italy, Vietnam, Dubai, Qatar, London and Malaysia, alleging failures to provide prior intimation required under ASL guidelines.
• CRPF warns that unscheduled movements weaken Z+ protection and urges strict adherence as advance teams rely on notice to coordinate security.
• Congress questions the timing and public release, calling it a veiled attempt to intimidate Gandhi as he presses his 'vote chori' allegations.
• BJP leaders amplified the claims to criticise Gandhi, while officials noted similar advisories have been issued before and reports highlighted Malaysia sightings without visible security.
