Upendra Kushwaha gets Z-category security after threat report

Patna, May 17 (IANS) The Centre has provided Rashtriya Lok Janata Dal (RLJD) chief Upendra Kushwaha with the Z-category security following a threat report from the Intelligence Bureau (IB).

A group of 33 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) commandos will provide security to Kushwaha in three shifts in Bihar and Delhi.

Among the 33, six PSOs will provide security in three shifts, 12 escort commandos and three trained drivers.
