The 2022 Narendra Modi security breach in Punjab occurred on 5 January 2022, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s convoy was stranded for around 20 minutes on a flyover near Hussainiwala in Firozpur district, Punjab, after protesters blocked the route. The Ministry of Home Affairs termed it a “major lapse” in the Prime Minister’s security, leading to judicial inquiries, disciplinary action against Punjab police officials, and political controversy ahead of the 2022 Punjab Legislative Assembly elections.
