Sourav Ganguly, a former captain of the Indian cricket team and the former president of the BCCI, would now have Z-category security protection.
The choice was made on Tuesday after Mr. Ganguly’s tenure of Y category security came to an end. According to the new security cover category, Ganguly would now have 8 to 10 police officers guarding him at all times.
An official added that a review was conducted in accordance with protocol as the VVIP’s security cover expired, and it was decided to upgrade Ganguly’s security cordon to the Z category.
