Sukhbir’s Z+ cover includes 10+ CRPF commandos but none of his central security detail was visibly present near him at the time of the attack; the bullet missed Sukhbir after an alert police officer in plainclothes grabbed Chaura’s hand,

Assistant Sub-inspector Jasbir Singh previously served in the security detail of former Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal.

Bhullar praised their efforts, saying, “Due to the alertness and deployment of our police, this attack attempt was foiled. Our personnel displayed alertness and foiled the attempts. Narain Singh Chaura, who has a criminal record, has been arrested. A case has been registered. There were adequate arrangements for Sukhbir Singh Badal's security.”
