Lapke, who took US Ambassador Eric Michael Garcetti to the Fatehpur Sikri memorial, was arrested by the police. He has been kept in custody. After the news was published in Amar Ujala, there was panic among the officers involved in the security and protocol of the American Ambassador, while Gulistan was not seen lurking in the parking lot on Saturday.
On Friday, US Ambassador Eric Michael Garcetti arrived with the family to tour the Sikri monuments. Administrative officers and police were also present with him. Despite this, an alleged guide (Lapka) Shadab alias Kale showed them the monuments. When Amar Ujala published the news of this, the police came into action.
The entry of Lapke, an illegal guide, into the protocol of the American ambassador was considered a major lapse in his security. Police caught Shadab and took him into custody. In the matter, Naib Tehsildar Amit Mudgal said that investigation is being done by the Tehsil administration. The report will be sent to higher authorities.
Shamshuddin of Approved Guide Association says that there is a list of five guides for VIP memorial tour, then why are illegal guides being employed. This is a case of security lapse.
Sworn in three days ago, then took Lapke’s side.
Most of the people are caught around Fatehpur Sikri Memorial. They have cheated the tourists in the name of illegal guides and have cheated lakhs of rupees in the name of ‘bedsheet’. On February 13, 54 deputies were verified and sworn in at the police station premises. Even after that, local officials imposed the duty of escorting the American ambassador.
