He was currently posted in Bathinda. In the investigation report, Gurbinder Singh Sanga has been held guilty of negligence in his duty. This incident took place on January 5, 2022, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was going from Bathinda to Hussainiwala in Firozpur by road to attend a program.

Farmers stopped the highway by parking tractors on the way. Some protesters came very close to his car carrying black flags. PM Modi’s convoy stopped at Pyare Ana flyover in Ferozepur for 20 minutes. Then the SPG deployed in the security of PM Modi took charge. When the road did not open, PM Modi’s convoy had to return. He reached Bhisiana Airport in Bathinda and returned to Delhi from there. PM Modi had told the officials present at Bhisiana Airport, ‘Thank your CM, I have returned alive’.
