While posting on Facebook, Aseem Arun said that I was his bodyguard for about three years from 2004. The innermost circle of Prime Minister’s security in SPG is the Close Protection Team, which I got the opportunity to lead. AIG CPT is an officer who can never stay away from the PM. If only one body guard can accompany the PM, then only this officer will accompany him. In such a situation, it was my responsibility to stay with him like a shadow.

Dr. Manmohan Singh was very fond of his car

Asim, a minister in the Yogi government, further said, “Doctor Saheb had only one car – a Maruti 800, which was parked behind the shiny black BMW at the PM House. Manmohan Singh ji used to say to me – Asim, I want to buy this car.” Don’t like to drive, this is my car (Maruti), this car is not for your luxury, its safety features are such that SPG took it away from there. Whenever he passes by, he looks as if he is a middle class person and it is his job to take care of the common man, this is his car worth crores of rupees.”

Dr. Manmohan Singh died on the night of 26 December.

Dr. Manmohan Singh suddenly fainted at home on 26 December. He was brought to Delhi AIIMS Medical Emergency at 8.06 pm. AIIMS issued a statement saying that despite all efforts, he could not be saved and he was declared dead at 9.51 pm.
