“A big thank you to all my brothers and sisters in the SPG who worked tirelessly to protect me and my family over the years,” said Rahul Gandhi in a tweet, adding that it has been a privilege and wishing the SPG personnel for their future. The decision, the sources said, was taken after multiple security agencies carried out a threat perception assessment and found there was no direct threat to them. “Recently, a decision was taken after assessing threat inputs from all agencies,” senior officials aware of the developments said.
The Gandhi family now comprising of Rahul Gandhi his mother Sonia Gandhi and sister Priyanka Gandhi was always under the shadow protection of the 3000 strong SPG force.
