The state assembly election in the Indian state of Karnataka is scheduled to be held on May 10. Rallies and election campaigns are being held amid great enthusiasm, with key party leaders actively participating in them.
Hours after a
security breach incident took place during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's roadshow in the poll-bound southern Indian state of Karnataka, police said the detained suspect hadn't intended to hurt the leader.
On Sunday, a mobile phone was thrown towards the Prime Minister, who was holding a roadshow in a specially designed vehicle, police said.
The phone landed on the vehicle's hood, preventing any mishap. Meanwhile, Modi noticed something thrown toward him and alerted his
security, the Special Protection Group (SPG) that accompanies him.
Later, Karnataka's Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order), Alok Kumar, told Indian media: "The lady (whose phone fell on the PM's vehicle)
was a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) functionary. The SPG people returned it to her later."
She threw the phone "out of excitement" and had no "ill-intention," Kumar said.
Meanwhile, the lady was asked by the police to appear before them to record her statement.
The elections in Karnataka will be held on May 10, and the result will be announced on May 13.
