Chennai: Union Home Ministry provided 'Y' category CRPF security cover to Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai in the state, over and above the security cover provided to him by the State Police.

Last month, the Union Home Ministry provided the pan India ‘Y’ category security cover of CRPF to Vivek Agnihotri, director of The Kashmir Files. The Home Ministry had received intelligence inputs of threat to Agnihotri after his film which highlighted brutality endured by Kashmir Pandits in the Kashmir valley.

The protectees include union home minister Amit Shah, BJP president J P Nadda, Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and former prime minister Manmohan Singh, Adar Poonawala among others.
