<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>
<p>Before 1981, the security of the prime minister at their official residence was the responsibility of the Special Security District of the <a href="Delhi_Police" title="Delhi Police">Delhi Police</a>, overseen by an officer of the rank of <a href="Deputy_commissioner_of_police_(India)" class="mw-redirect" title="Deputy commissioner of police (India)">Deputy Commissioner of Police</a> (DCP). This model was adopted from the United Kingdom, where the <a href="Prime_Minister_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Prime Minister of the United Kingdom">prime minister of the United Kingdom</a> is protected by London's <a href="Metropolitan_Police_Service" class="mw-redirect" title="Metropolitan Police Service">Metropolitan Police Service</a>. In October 1981, a <a href="Special_Task_Force_(India)" title="Special Task Force (India)">Special Task Force</a> (STF) was established by the <a href="Intelligence_Bureau_(India)" title="Intelligence Bureau (India)">Intelligence Bureau</a> (IB) to provide transportation security and road escorts for the Prime Minister during travels in and out of <a href="New_Delhi" title="New Delhi">New Delhi</a>.
</p><p>After the <a href="Assassination_of_Indira_Gandhi" title="Assassination of Indira Gandhi">assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi</a> by two of her Delhi Police security personnel in October 1984, a review was undertaken by a Committee of Secretaries of the <a href="Ministry_of_Home_Affairs_(India)" title="Ministry of Home Affairs (India)">Ministry of Home Affairs</a>. Given the breach, it was decided to entrust security of the Prime Minister to an exclusive unit under direct control of the STF to provide the Prime Minister with proximate security at all times. These decisions were initially taken as short-term measures.
</p><p>On 18 February 1985, the Ministry of Home Affairs set up the <i>Birbal Nath Committee</i> to examine the issue and submit recommendations to the government for prime ministerial security. In March 1985, the Committee submitted its recommendation for the raising of an independent agency for prime ministerial protection, known as the Special Protection Unit (SPU). On 30 March 1985, the <a href="President_of_India" title="President of India">President of India</a>, by executive order, created 819 posts for the unit within the <a href="Cabinet_Secretariat_of_India" class="mw-redirect" title="Cabinet Secretariat of India">Cabinet Secretariat</a>. The unit was renamed to <i>Special Protection Group,</i> led by a Director who would be an <a href="Indian_Police_Service" title="Indian Police Service">Indian Police Service</a> officer with the rank of <a href="Inspector_General_of_Police" class="mw-redirect" title="Inspector General of Police">Inspector General of Police</a>.
</p><p>S. Subramaniam, then the Joint Director (VIP Security) in the Intelligence Bureau, assumed office as the first Director of the SPG.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Initially, the establishment of the SPG necessitated a new distribution of responsibility to various agencies concerned with the security of the Prime Minister. With 819 posts, the new agency lacked the manpower to provide complete protection to the Prime Minister's person, office, residence and dependents, and remained dependent on the Delhi Police and <a href="Police_forces_of_the_states_and_union_territories_of_India" title="Police forces of the states and union territories of India">state police</a> units for logistics and transportation. The <i>Blue Book</i>, an existing manual for the protection of the Prime Minister, was amended to incorporate new proximate security protocols.
</p><p>Under the new arrangements, on domestic visits, the Intelligence Bureau and concerned State Police were responsible for coordination, collection and dissemination of intelligence affecting the Prime Minister's security. State Police and the SPG would then provide physical security arrangements for the Prime Minister in two layers. The SPG operated under the authority of its constituting executive order for three years without legislation, from April 1985 to June 1988. That year, the <a href="Rajiv_Gandhi" title="Rajiv Gandhi">Rajiv Gandhi</a> Government passed the Special Protection Group Act to codify the order's provisions.
</p><p>At the time, the Act only permitted security for the Prime Minister and his immediate relatives. When Rajiv Gandhi left office in 1989, he ceased to receive SPG protection as <a href="Leader_of_the_Opposition_in_Lok_Sabha" title="Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha">Leader of the Opposition</a>. This occurred despite the significant threat to his life following his government's military intervention in the <a href="Sri_Lankan_civil_war" title="Sri Lankan civil war">Sri Lankan Civil War</a>. In May 1991, Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated at a political rally in <a href="Tamil_Nadu" title="Tamil Nadu">Tamil Nadu</a> by a <a href="Suicide_bomber" class="mw-redirect" title="Suicide bomber">suicide bomber</a> of the <a href="Liberation_Tigers_of_Tamil_Eelam" title="Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam">Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam</a>, a Sri Lankan terrorist organisation. After his assassination, the <i>SPG Act</i> was amended to provide SPG security to former Prime Ministers and their immediate families for a period of ten years after leaving office.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Prior to the end of this period, a security review would be conducted by the IB to determine a protectee's current threat and the need for extensions (which would last five years). For this reason, Gandhi's widow, <a href="Sonia_Gandhi" title="Sonia Gandhi">Sonia Gandhi</a>, and her children, <a href="Rahul_Gandhi" title="Rahul Gandhi">Rahul Gandhi</a> and <a href="Priyanka_Gandhi" title="Priyanka Gandhi">Priyanka Gandhi</a> received SPG protection for 28 years (until 2019) owing to their political activity in the <a href="Indian_National_Congress" title="Indian National Congress">Indian National Congress</a>.
</p><p>On 27 November 2019, the <a href="Parliament_of_India" title="Parliament of India">Parliament of India</a> passed the <a href="Special_Protection_Group_(Amendment)_Act%2C_2019" title="Special Protection Group (Amendment) Act, 2019">Special Protection Group (Amendment Act), 2019</a> which limited SPG protection only to the PM and his immediate family members residing with him at his official residence. Under the amended legislation, former Prime Ministers are eligible for an extension of their protection for up to five years after leaving office, subject to a threat assessment by the Intelligence Bureau.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The bill was opposed by the <a href="Indian_National_Congress" title="Indian National Congress">Indian National Congress</a>, fearing that the <a href="Nehru%E2%80%93Gandhi_family" title="Nehru–Gandhi family">Gandhi Family</a> would face a greater risk of violence without SPG protection. After its passage, these individuals, along with former prime minister <a href="Manmohan_Singh" title="Manmohan Singh">Manmohan Singh</a>, Heeraben Modi and <a href="Jashodaben_Modi" title="Jashodaben Modi">Jashodaben Modi</a>, the mother and estranged wife, respectively, of incumbent Prime Minister <a href="Narendra_Modi" title="Narendra Modi">Narendra Modi</a>, lost SPG protection. They were instead accorded different levels of security ranging from Z+ to Y by the Ministry of Home Affairs. The bill reduced the SPG's legal protectees to Modi, who lives alone at his official residence.

The antennas mounted on the roof are used in barrage jamming applications and for scouting purposes, the primary method used to counter IED threats. The antenna configuration can be changed according to threat level, for instance, taller antennas are used to increase the jamming protection distance, or change jamming frequency ranges. There are two dome-shaped EW Sensors. The EW sensors are millimetre-wave radars used to detect the launch of an RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenades) or laser range finder illumination and launch of an Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM).
