Kangana Becomes 1st B’wood Star to Be Guarded by CRPF Commandos. But Who’s Paying for the Security?

However, they make payments in lieu of the security they get from the government. It is immediately not known whether Ranaut will have to pay or not to the government for the security she is getting now.

Under the Y-plus category security, Ranaut will be guarded by 10-11 armed commandos who will work in shifts round the clock. Among these commandos, Ranaut will have two-three armed PSOs (personal security officers) every time she is on the move while other armed personnel will secure her residence.

The personnel at the house will have “access control” to all the people who come and go out of the house, another official said. Y-plus security to Ranaut means a specific threat has been vetted by intelligence agencies. She is also likely to get an escort vehicle for carrying her security team.

The Z category protectee too gets escort vehicle and the Z-plus protectee gets a pilot as well as escort vehicle, the official said. Other Bollywood stars are mostly guarded by either Maharashtra Police or by private security agencies.
