After reports that a potential attack was being planned on BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari by an Islamic and fundamentalist group based in Bangladesh, the Centre has bolstered the security of the Bengal Leader of Opposition.
A letter from the office of Union Home Minister Amit Shah has instructed security officials for enhanced surveillance, including hourly monitoring of Adhikari’s movement.
As per the new security protocol, Adhikari’s convoy will comprise 22 armed personnel, and bulletproof vehicles will be used in sensitive areas. A ‘D zone’ will be designated for every meeting, and security personnel will conduct thorough searches of individuals attempting to take selfies with Suvendu Adhikari, who enjoys Z+ security from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
