SRK Gets Y+ Security: See Other Heavily-guarded Bollywood Stars
Shah Rukh Khan is the latest Bollywood actor to be granted Y+ security.
He has been granted Y+ security in view of the threat perception after his two consecutive hits - Jawan and Pathaan - this year.
As part of the security detail, SRK will get 6 police commandos as his bodyguards at all times. The armed bodyguards will be from the special protection unit of Maharashtra Police.
The security will be given to him across India and they will be armed with MP-5 machine guns, AK-47 assault rifles and Glock pistols. His residence will also be guarded by 4 armed policemen at all times.
The actor will pay for his security. In India, private security cannot be armed with sophisticated weapons, which is why it has to be police security.
Salman Khan, too, has Y+ security since last year. It was upgraded from the X category in view of the reported threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in 2020 awarded Kangana Ranaut Y+ cover with Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) security after a spat with Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut.
Amitabh Bachchan's Y security was moved up to X category due to threats of death.
Anupam Kher also has been granted Y+ security since the release of his film The Kashmir Files.
Akshay Kumar has X category of security owing to online threats.
