CRPF Flags Rahul Gandhi Over Security Protocol Breaches on Foreign Trips

The force’s Sept. 10 communication cites six overseas journeys without prior intimation under Yellow Book rules.

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.
