Home Ministry grants security cover for Kangana Ranaut

Actor Ranaut is a big supporter of the BJP and has been regularly spitting venom against the Minorities and Secular Liberals. 

The Union Home Ministry on Monday accorded central security cover to actor Kangana Ranaut, a senior Ministry official said. The decision to accord Y plus security to the actor was taken after assessment by intelligence agencies, another official added.

The Bollywood actor has been engaged in a Twitter spat with the ruling Shiv Sena government in Maharashtra after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. She has been living at her family home in Himachal Pradesh’s Manali for the past few months but plans to return to Mumbai later this week.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), deployed in internal security duties, will provide cover for Ranaut across the country, said the official. Y plus category entails that the individual will be protected by 11-12 CRPF personnel round the clock. The CRPF currently provides security to about 60 dignitaries and high-profile persons, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Justice of India S.A. Bobde.

It was not clear if the actor will pay for the security cover. Industrialist Mukesh Ambani, who also has CRPF cover, pays a fee to the government for availing the services.

The second official said, “The security cover to the actor has been granted on the basis of an assessment done by the intelligence agencies. In such cases the government doesn’t seek charges from the personality.”
