New Delhi : Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has been provided ‘Z’ category security by the central government in view of threats to him, official sources said Monday.
The home ministry gave the order after receiving inputs from security agencies, the sources said.
“Ramdev was entitled to ‘Z’ category security only within Uttarakhand. Now, he will be given the facility all over the country,” said an official source.
The decision came after Ramdev, the founder of Haridwar-based Patanjali Yogpeeth, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi Nov 4.
Ramdev will be guarded by 40 commandos of one of the paramilitary forces round-the-clock, the sources said.
