What Is Inside The Briefcase Of Indian Prime Minister’s Bodyguards?

Someone who leads our nation and does work for its welfare demands the utmost protection. We are talking about the Prime Minister of our nation. The Prime Minister of India is the leader of the majority party in Lok sabha and is the head of the council of ministers.

The senior-most member in the parliamentary system has the most significant influence over the legislature. In major events like Republic day or Independence day celebrations, you must have witnessed that our Prime Minister is surrounded by people in black for security purposes.

So, here is all about this special force and the briefcase of the PM bodyguards and what its purpose,

Everything to know about Special Protection Group (SPG)

This huge responsibility of protecting the PM and VVIPs rests on the shoulders of an organization named SPG (Special Protection Group). This organization is endowed with the biggest of responsibilities of taking care of the current Prime Minister and their family along with the former Prime Minister and their families.

Special Protection Group (SPG) motto,

“Zero Error” and “Culture of Excellence”

The men in black

These men with arms are seen wearing all black, black glasses, black outfits, and shoes with an added black briefcase. Since 1985, wherever the VIPs like the Prime Minister go out in public within or outside the nation they are always accompanied by the SPG.

To cater to the prime need for protection these commandos are equipped with all kinds of modern weapons like FNF-2000 assault rifles, mechanized guns, and some dangerous pistols like 17-M.

Them wearing all black is a dress code, but you might have wondered what exactly is there in the black briefcase that those commandos carry with themselves every time they are out to ensure the safety and protection of our Prime Minister. We are here to kill your curiosity by telling you all about it.

 What is in the briefcase of India’s PM Bodyguards?

This black briefcase carried by the officials of SPG is actually a nuclear bomb. At Least that is what most people assume. But the truth is the briefcase is basically a portable protective bulletproof shield for VIPs like our PM. It is folded in a way that during the time of need it can be opened thereby catering to ballistic protection of NIJ Level 3. The shield acts as armour and if it is pulled downwards opens like a protective wall.

It also carries many important documents and has a secret pocket within it that is meant to carry a pistol. All of it shows that it is meant for the immediate temporary protection of VVIPs like the Prime Minister during the time of any attack or blitz.

Authority over the Nuclear Action

What is interesting to note is that this briefcase weapon is designed for the Prime Minister but they do not have the authority over the weapon, they say over when and how to use it. This monopoly on having the right over making such decisions comes under the Nuclear Command Authority.

Aim and duty of SPG

What makes this force versatile in every sense is its dedication on a 24×7 basis to provide protection to its protectees. With pure hard work, courage,  devotion, and resilience they work against foreign terrors.

They provide shielding to not only the VVIPs of our country but also to the important guests that come from all around the globe on different kinds of diplomatic trips, thereby upholding the integrity of our Prime Minister and of course our nation.
