Z Category Security For R&AW and NIA Ex-Chiefs, Review of Covers For Others Soon Amid Khalistani Threats
News 18In view of the growing threats from Khalistani terror groups to Indian officials who have worked in tackling Pro-Khalistani Entities, the government is likely to enhance the security cover for these officials. Recently, two key officials, former R&AW chief Samant Goel and former NIA chief Dinkar Gupta, have been given Z category security cover. The two top officials received security cover after separate threat perception reports suggested a direct threat from terror groups, mainly from Pro-Khalistani Entities. While the NIA is probing various cases filed by the central agency against Khalistani terror groups, the former R&AW Chief’s name has already been dragged by international media for an alleged attempt to assassinate Khalistani leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
