After getting the approval, now the Z category security personnel will be deployed in the security of Gautam Adani.

To cost Rs 15-20 lakh every month

The government source said that the Z security given to Gautam Adani will be completely on payment basis and he will have to bear the entire cost of security. This security is likely to cost Rs 15-20 lakh every month. The category of security is decided according to the risk. The higher the threat perception, the higher the category of protection given.

Security at risk

Central agencies take full account of what kind of threat is against which person and the seriousness of the threat, and give their report to the Ministry of Home Affairs. Then according to the category in the central list, the security of the people is decided. Z security has been approved for 60-year-old Gautam Adani. After the approval of the security, the Union Home Ministry has asked the VIP Security Wing of the Central Reserve Police Force ie CRPF to take over its work immediately. With this, CRPF commandos will be deployed in the security of Gautam Adani.

Ambani has also got security

Above the Z category is the security of Z+, which has been given to Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries. He has received threats in recent months. Recently, a threat case has come to light, after which the security agencies became alert. In view of the seriousness of the threat, the central government had approved Z plus security to Mukesh Ambani in the year 2013. CRPF commandos are also deployed in their security. Mukesh Ambani's wife Nita Ambani has also been given security, but she belongs to the lower category.

IB gave input
