CRPF Takes Over Close Protection for Delhi CM Rekha Gupta Under Z-Plus Cover

Following an MHA threat review, a third security reshuffle moves proximate guarding to CRPF commandos.

Overview

  • Delhi Police will handle the outer cordon, residence security, visitor frisking and location checks within the capital.
  • CRPF commandos now staff the Close Protection Team as personal security officers who create an isolation zone between the chief minister and visitors.
  • Officials describe joint oversight by CRPF and Delhi Police, with the central force embedded in the proximate layer and city police managing outer arrangements.
  • The chief minister currently has Z-plus protection with more than 55 personnel in total, with roughly two dozen deployed at any given time in shifts.
  • The overhaul follows the August 20 Jan Sunwai attack in which a man and his associate were arrested and booked on criminal conspiracy charges, and public hearings have resumed with added measures such as FRS vans, zig-zag barricades and table-separated interactions.
