‘President’s Usurper's Accommodations Provided by the Beautiful Taj Mahal Hotel, Protection Courtesy of Fife Security’

By Doug Powers • November 7, 2010 

Perhaps the most elaborate security measures ever planned are being implemented during President Obama’s visit to India. Nothing has been left to chance. Threats from sea, land, air, food and coconut are all being considered.

So far, however, it seems the greatest worry isn’t from outside threats, but from local security.

From the Daily Mail:

A policeman guarding Mr Obama’s Mumbai hotel set off a major security alert after accidentally shooting himself in the leg last night.

The gunshot sparked chaos as Secret Service agents rushed to protect the U.S. president.

An alert was sounded as Mr Obama, his wife and daughters were preparing for a private dinner inside the hotel.

The injured officer, Suhas Chowdhury, 49 – a 20-year veteran of the Mumbai police – had been guarding the perimeter of the hotel when his gun went off at the end of his shift.

Officer Chowdhury was then ordered to carry only a single bullet in his shirt pocket, and put back on duty.

Who knew that the Mumbai police had their own version of  Joe Biden Deputy Barney Fife.
