Overview
- CRPF VVIP security chief Sunil June sent letters on Sept. 10 to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and to Rahul Gandhi detailing alleged lapses.
- The letters reportedly list trips to Italy, Vietnam, Dubai, Qatar, London and Malaysia taken without the advance notice required for Z+ protectees.
- The force warns that bypassing procedures weakens VVIP protection, noting Gandhi’s Z+ ASL cover with 10–12 CRPF commandos and pre-visit reconnaissance.
- BJP leaders amplified the reports to question Gandhi’s conduct, while Congress’s Pawan Khera cast the timing and publicization as an attempt at intimidation.
- CRPF has not released the full text publicly, with some officials calling such advisories routine, as media also highlight recent on-ground security concerns.
