The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has decided to grant 'Y' category security to poet and activist Kumar Vishvas, sources told India Today.
A decision in this regard was taken on Saturday on the basis of the Intelligence Bureau's (IB) threat perception.
The agency believes that there is a threat to Kumar Vishvas over his recent remarks against Delhi CM and Aam Aadmi Party's national convener Arvind Kejriwal.
Jawans of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will now be responsible for Kumar Vishvas's safety.
The 'Y' category security cover involves eight personnel, five of whom are stationed at the protectee's residence.
As per protocol, the other three accompany the protectee wherever he/she goes in three shifts.
