Nagpur: The Central Industrial Security Force has taken over security at the headquarters of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) in Nagpur replacing the state police. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has been given top category 'Z+' security cover.
Bhagwat will be guarded by an armed squad of the CISF during his stay at the RSS headquarters in Nagpur and when he travels to any place in Maharashtra and across the country.
As part of the security cover, the RSS 'Sarsanghchalak' will have about 60 commandos round-the-clock to protect him.
The VVIP commando unit of CISF is armed with sophisticated weapons like AK-series rifles and is equipped with latest gadgets for communication and anti-sabotage tasks. This unit is also identified as the 'centre of excellence" for VVIP security in the country.
A number of other prominent figures like BJP President Amit Shah and government functionaries and politicians have been accorded such security cover in the recent past by the Union government.
