The incident took place in the morning when SPG Director B V Wanchoo arrived in his official car at the AIIMS and was not allowed to enter the premises by alert constables at the premier hospital's main gate.
Even after Wanchoo revealed his identity, the SPG director was not allowed to take his vehicle inside and was made to walk down to the Cardio Vascular Thoracic Surgery (CVTS) unit where the Prime Minister is admitted, eyewitnesses said.
The Prime Minister's first cousin Amar Singh Kohli, who had come in a private taxi from Dehradun, also had to walk down from the main gate as the security personnel did not allow his car to come inside.
"I could not meet the Prime Minister. But, I had a word with his wife who said that his (Singh's) condition is okay and he has been taken off the ventilator," Kohli said after coming out of the CVTS unit.
The next in line was Deputy Chairman of Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia whose vehicle was also stopped.
Singh, who came in a Maruti Esteem car fitted with a red-beacon, was stopped by the Delhi Police personnel manning the main entrance to the hospital.
Both Ahluwalia and his wife then walked down to the Centre where Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is recuperating from the successful coronary by-pass surgery done yesterday.

this is good for Pm's security and health , security forces should be always alert to do their job. well done keep it up. in dmocracy every one is eqal bfore law.
let us appreciate the security personnel for performing their duties dilligently. Walking few steps will not lower the dignity of any of these relatives or officials. Let them remember that millions of Indian trudge miles for gathering firewood, water etc daily and still do the same cheerfully. It is better for the media to concentrate on qualtiy activities than informing the public all these inconsequential matters
A very bold n' good step taken by Indian Security people. Congratulations!
