The government of West Bengal has decided to upgrade the security cover of Sourav Ganguly, a former Indian cricket team captain, to Z category. He currently has Y category security and the security cover has expired.
Ganguly will now have 8 to 10 police personnel to guard him. Currently, he gets three policemen from the Special Branch in his cordon and three from the law enforcers to guard his Behala residence under the Y security cover.
A decision to enhance the security cover was taken by representatives of the state secretariat at Ganguly’s Behala office where they held a meeting with officers from Kolkata Police headquarters Lalbazar and the local police station.
Ganguly is currently travelling with his IPL team Delhi Capitals and he will return to Kolkata on May 21. From that day, he will start getting Z category security.
