Probe trunk in PM’S chopper: Cong

Congress on Sunday demanded a probe into the alleged transportation of a “suspicious black trunk” in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s helicopter during his visit to Chitradurg in Karnataka on April 9.Congress spokesperson Anand Sharma said the Election Commission should inquire into the contents of the “trunk”. “We saw there were three more choppers escorting the Prime Minister’s helicopter. After landing, a black trunk was taken out and whisked away in a private car which was not part of the SPG carcade,” he alleged. He said the Congress’ Karnataka unit has already filed a complaint with the Election Commission in this regard. Sharma suggested there was cash stashed in the trunk. “What was there in the trunk. If there was no cash in it, let an inquiry be held,” he said.
