Washington DC, Jan 5 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Secret Service has revealed that there was a third gate crasher too when the US President had hosted his first state dinner for the visiting Indian PM Manmohan Singh last year. And at that dinner, the Salahis had gate crashed into the party, even posed for photographs. This had created quite a stir, as they were uninvited but still they had managed to dodge the Secret Service and get inside the party. And now according to the latest reports, the Secret Service claims that there was a 3rd gatecrasher into that party also.

A 3rd person who was not on the official list of the White House guest list had entered the State Dinner, according to the Secret Service’s investigation. It seems that this person was staying at the hotel where the official Indian delegation was staying and he arrived at the dinner with that group. The surprisingly thing is that this individual also went through all required security measures along with the rest of the official delegation at the hotel, and boarded a bus/van with the delegation guests en route to the White House.

A third person attended President Barack Obama’s state dinner in November without an invitation, the Secret Service said. And this is certainly raising new questions about White House security procedures.

The Secret Service divulged on Monday that it discovered the security breach during its probe into security problems at the dinner for the Indian prime minister. The other gatecrashers into that party were a Virginia couple, Tareq and Michaele Salahi. They were earlier found to have entered the event uninvited and are currently under investigation by the Secret Service.
