Kangana Ranaut granted Y-plus Category security ahead of Mumbai visit

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has been asked to take control of the actor's security. According to the officials, the decision was taken after a threat perception was carried out and the Himachal Pradesh government also approached the ministry.

Under the Y-in category, Kangana will have 10 to 11 equipped commandoes guarding her in three shifts, with a few Personnel Security Officers (PSOs) going with her nonstop and one security staff deployed at her Home.

The verbal duel between the entertainer and Raut began after her "Mumbai feeling like Pakistan-occupied Kashmir" remark last Thursday. She had also said that she feared Mumbai Police more than what she has named as 'movie mafia'.

Raut had hit back in Sena's mouthpiece 'Saamana' after that, stating, "This issue concerns the pride of Maharashtra and there will be no compromise on this front. Ranaut needs to apologize for her PoK remarks or she will face the music from our women's wing."

Kangana had said she will return to Mumbai on September 9 and said Raut is "not Maharashtra'." Your people are threatening me, still, I'll come to Mumbai on September 9," she said in a video message on September 6.

On September 6, Ranaut's father had written to the Himachal Pradesh government, mentioning about arranging security for her.

"Kangana Ranaut's father has given in writing asking for Police protection. I also spoke to her sister yesterday. The Director-General of Police has been directed in this regard and she will be provided security here. We are discussing what can be done to provide security to her outside the state as she is leaving for Mumbai on September 9," Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur had said.
