Mobile ban for junior cops on duty at West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's home, office

KOLKATA: Junior cops on duty at Nabanna and posted at chief minister Mamata Banerjee's Kalighat residence as part of her security detail have been barred from using mobile phones - apart from other security measures - two days after a 31-year-old man, armed with an iron rod, managed to breach Z+ security and spent seven hours at her home before being discovered on Sunday.

The cops have also formed an eight-member special investigation team (SIT) under joint commissioner of police (crime) Murlidhar Sharma to probe the lapses which allowed Hafizul Molla to slip through, unchallenged. The measures coincide with findings that Molla had, on an earlier occasion, tried to breach Nabanna security.
