New Delhi: The security cover of Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva was upgraded from ‘Y’ category to ‘Z’ following a threat perception assessment, BJP sources said on Monday. The decision to upgrade Sachdeva’s security was made on April 26 after police assessment of the functionary.
In Z category cover, a security detail of 20 to 22 personnel, including four to six commandos and police personnel will be provided. A pilot vehicle will also accompany Sachdeva’s convoy.
