Mumbai Police detained two men at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled event. One man, identified as 24-year-old Rohan Parekh, allegedly posed as a Prime Minister's Office official using a fake ID card. His companion, acting as a bodyguard, was found carrying a firearm. The Mumbai Crime Branch is investigating how they accessed the venue and the motives behind the impersonation and weapon possession. Security measures were heightened during the incident.
