Rajib Banerjee gets ‘Z' category security

A day after defecting to the BJP, former West Bengal forest minister Rajib Banerjee was given ‘Z’ category security by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).

According to MHA sources, extra security will be given to the other leaders like Baishali Dalmiya, Rathin Chakraborty, Prabir Ghosh and Rudranil Ghosh, but the category has not been decided yet. These leaders have also joined BJP recently.

Rajib is the second turncoat after Suvendu Adhikari to get ‘Z’ category security after defection.

After his return to Kolkata, alleged Trinamool Congress workers had agitated in Rajib Banerjee’s Domjur constituency. Following this the Home Ministry had decided to give Rajib ‘Z’ category security.
