The chief guest at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit 2017 here was US President Donald Trump's daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump.
The breach happened despite elaborate security arrangements. The incident has left the Telangana Police in an embarrassing situation.
As per a report in The Times of India, the CCTV footage was first telecast by local TV channels. The same was noted after national media channels started beaming the live feed of some Telugu news channels at around 9.42 pm.
The CCTV footage showed PM Modi, Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao and Governor ESL Narasimhan on a sofa talking to one another.
It may be recalled that the media had been barred from attending the event.
But, when PMO came to know about the leak it alerted the Special Protection Group (SPG) that takes care of PM's security.
SPG officials swiftly asked the Telangana Police to get the live broadcast stopped.
In what's more shocking is that the CCTV footage was aired live from the command and control centre at the city police commissioner's office.
An initial probe revealed that some senior police officers permitted reporters of two local TV channels to enter the command control centre when the official dinner was underway at the Taj Falaknuma.

These Media sometimes are stepping out of their limits (not all but some). Ignoring the safety of others just for them to create a news.
