Ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, former Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal has come under the radar of a security alert issued by intelligence agencies. According to the alert, there is a potential threat of an attack on Kejriwal, possibly by pro-Khalistani elements. In the wake of these developments, Kejriwal’s security arrangements have been thoroughly reviewed. 

As per the information, the intelligence agencies have shared specific inputs with the Delhi Police regarding the perceived threat. Currently, Arvind Kejriwal is under Z-category security, which provides the highest level of protection to prominent figures. However, there has been no official statement from either the Aam Aadmi Party or the central government so far on the matter.

What is  Z-security cover? 

In India, the government provides varying levels of security to high-profile individuals, categorized into X, Y, Y+, Z, and Z+ tiers. These security covers are assigned based on threat assessments conducted by intelligence agencies. Ministers and prominent figures can receive security ranging from Y to Z+ categories.

Under category Z-security cover, there will be at least 36 trained commandos from the CRPF along with an escort vehicle. While trained commandos in batches of 10-12 in different shifts, will guard the protectee round-the-clock, around 10 commandos will also be deployed at the residence as well.
