Gujarat Assembly Elections 2017: Patidar Leader Hardik Patel Accorded With Y-Plus Security, Says Officers Advised Him to Keep it - JPKee.com

Ahmedabad, Nov 24:  Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) convener Hardik Patel has been provided Y-category security cover following directions of intelligence agencies. As per the reports, the Central Industrial Security Force or CISF has been entrusted with the task of safeguarding the Patidar leader.

Talking to news agency PTI, a senior police official said,”A contingent of armed CISF commandos will take charge of the new protectee very soon. Patel will have about eight commandos with him, whenever he travels in Gujarat.”

The official informed that a threat analysis report, prepared by central intelligence and security agencies, favoured granting of such a cover to Patel.

“I have accepted the Y category security as some IAS and IPS officers advised me to keep it. I have been told that there are intelligence reports that there is possibility of an attack on me before the Gujarat polls,” Times of India quoted the Patidaar leader as saying.

Notably, the CISF has a special VIP security wing and it secures around 60 dignitaries like National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat.
