Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Rajiv Kumar's security cover has been upgraded to the 'Z' category, according to sources at the Union Home Ministry.
This development comes in the view of potential security threats against him, based on an intelligence report from the Intelligence Bureau (IB). They did not share the specifics of IB's threat perception report.
Under Z category security protocols, a comprehensive security detail has been deployed. A total of 33 security personnel, including CRPF commandos, have been assigned to safeguard Kumar. This entails 10 armed static guards stationed at Kumar's residence, six personal security officers (PSOs) providing round-the-clock protection, and 12 armed commandos working in three shifts to escort him. Additionally, two watchers per shift and three trained drivers are on standby to ensure Kumar's safety at all times.
