After a shoe was thrown at Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, the police claimed yesterday that the attacker had said he was asked to do so by a politician. But now, sources tell NDTV that the attacker, a suspended policeman, did not mention a politician in his interrogation.Sunday, Independence Day, was meant to be an occasion for Omar Abdullah to reach out to the people. Instead, the focus of Independence Day celebrations in Srinagar turned out to be a major security breach. The suspended head constable, Abdulla Ahad Jaan, hurled the shoe at the chief minister from the third row of the VIP enclosure soon after Omar unfurled the national flag. Security for the function was so high that no civilians - not even schoolchildren - were allowed at the venue, leave alone the VIP enclosure. An embarrassed security apparatus is unable to explain how a suspended cop managed to get into the high-security zone. Or if there were others involved?
