Telangana Police have denied that there was any security breach during the gala dinner that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had hosted for visiting US dignitary Ivanka Trump on November 28. However, Telangana Police have clarified that there was no live streaming of the event but TV crew took shots of the video wall at the hotel's command and control room. While the police are long used to reporters and camera crew inside the control room taking visuals of road accidents, robberies etc captured on CCTV across the city, they had not bargained for reporters using their proximity to the control room to take visuals of the dinner. The hotel was under a five-tier security blanket with over 10,000 men on the ground, 150 CCTVs, the SPG and the US Secret Service. Which is why the Telangana Police said the force had exhibited immaculate professionalism and competence during the event.
