Director of Intelligence Bureau (IB) Dineshwar Sharma today paid courtesy visit to Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel and held a high-level meeting with various top security officials of the state.
Sharma's visit to Gujarat, which shares land and sea border with Pakistan, comes in the backdrop of the recent terror attack at an Air Force base in Punjab's Pathankot.
However, officials here claimed that the IB chief was here just to express his regards to the CM for organising DGPs conference at Kutch, held from December 18-20.
"Sharma was here just to say thank you to our CM for the DGP's conference, which was held in Kutch last month. Otherwise, there was no other agenda of his visit today" said DGP P C Thakur.
After meeting Patel in Gandhinagar, Sharma held a high-level meeting with state Chief Secretary G R Aloria at Sachivalaya in Gandhinagar, where various top ranking police officials as well as regional chiefs of Air Force, Army and Border Security Force(BSF) remained present, said Thakur.
"After that meeting, we invited Sharma for lunch with top police officials," he added.
