New Delhi: Former NIA director general Dinkar Gupta was recently provided the top ‘Z-plus’ category VIP security cover by the Union government in view of potential threats to him from pro-Khalistan elements, official sources said Thursday. Gupta, a former Punjab Police DGP, retired from service in April.
A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) VIP security wing has been entrusted with the task to secure the 1987-batch Indian Police Service officer, the sources said. A contingent of about 40 CRPF personnel will now be deployed in shifts to secure Gupta during his presence in Punjab and Delhi, the sources said.
