Are you aware that the prime minister has the option to decline SPG security if he so chooses?
 
The leader of the indian government is the prime minister.
 
In addition to leading the Council of Ministers, he serves as the President of India's principal advisor. The prime minister is the highest-ranking cabinet member in the executive branch of government under the parliamentary system.
 
The Special Protection Group (SPG), an extremely talented security unit, is tasked with ensuring his safety, which is of utmost importance. These bodyguards frequently follow the prime minister while holding briefcases and sporting black suits and sunglasses.

Armed with cutting-edge weaponry like FNF-2000 assault rifles, automatic firearms, and potent handguns like the 17-M, SPG's skilled marksmen are positioned to guarantee the Prime Minister's protection during rallies.
 
But have you ever observed that these bodyguards are also holding a luggage or briefcase? It could have been visible during the january 26 procession.
 
But what's in these bodyguards' briefcase? They bring it with them, but why?

A vital security purpose is fulfilled by the briefcase that the prime minister of India's bodyguards, particularly those from the Special Protection Group (SPG), carry. It is mostly a portable bulletproof shield intended to offer instant protection in the event of danger, despite the common misconception that it may carry nuclear codes or weapons.
 
Key Features:
• Portable Bulletproof Shield: The briefcase doubles as a ballistic shield that can fend off small-caliber weapons and provides NIJ Level 3 protection. By drawing it lower, it may be swiftly deployed in reaction to perceived threats.
• Concealed Weapon Storage: To keep the bodyguard armed and prepared to act if needed, a concealed pocket within the briefcase is used to hold a weapon.
• Use in an Emergency: The shield is designed to be used right away in an emergency, giving the prime minister or other VIPs temporary protection in the event of an assault. It serves as a barrier of defense that may be quickly erected when danger is identified.
