In fact, on October 21, the Chief Minister had gone to Sukhu as the chief guest at a function at the CID headquarters. Apart from him, many VIP guests and distinguished officials were present. Three boxes of samosas and cakes were brought from Hotel Radisson Blu located in Lakkar Bazaar for the chief guests.
According to the statement recorded by a Deputy SP rank officer, the food items were served to the security staff of the guests. The report said that an IG rank officer had asked a police sub-inspector to bring some food items from the hotel. The SI further instructed an Assistant SI and a Head Constable to bring refreshments. The ASI and the head constable brought three boxes from the hotel and informed the SI.
Police officials said that when they asked the tourism department staff on duty whether the breakfast kept in the three boxes was to be served to the chief guests, they told them that it was not included in the menu. The lady inspector who handed over the food items did not ask any senior officer and sent the refreshments to the Mechanical Transport Section, which handles refreshments.
