The security arrangement for Suvendu Adhikari has been examined in this Ministry in consultation with Central security agencies and it has been decided to provide ‘Z’ category CRPF security cover with BR (Ballistics Rating) vehicle in West Bengal and ‘Y+’ category CRPF security cover in other states,” an MHA order read.Days ago, rebel Suvendu Adhikari resigned from all positions he used to hold as well as quit the Trinamool Congress party, and gave up the state provided security cover.
