Indian Special Protection Group (SPG) is a special force for providing proximate security to the Prime Minister of India and members of their families
SPG’s precise shooters are deployed in the rallies for the safety of PM. The SPG personnel are equipped with modern weapons like FNF-2000 assault rifles, automatic guns and some dangerous pistols like 17-M.
They also carry a black briefcase along with them, what is inside the briefcase?
This suitcase is actually a portable bullet proof shield or a portable folded ballistic shield which can be opened during the attack and provides the protection of NIG Level 3. If the security forces sense danger or suspicious activity, they will have to flick the folded shield downwards to deploy it quickly to secure the prime minister.
