Crackdown On Pro-Khalistan Elements: Bhagwant Mann Gets Z Plus Security

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has been provided Z Plus security cover from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).

The security cover has been provided to Mann across India, sources tell OneIndia. He is already under the security cover of the Punjab Police.

The security from the Centre for Mann comes in the wake of the crackdown on pro-Khalistan elements in the state.

Both the state and central agencies are cracking down on pro-Khalistan elements in the state. Recently radical Sikh preacher, Amritpal Singh surrendered before the police following a month long chase.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has also been cracking down on the gangster-terror nexus. The gangster network has been aiding the terror outfits which back the pro-Khalistan elements.

The Khalistan issue has become a major problem and the network being controlled from Pakistan is being backed by several gangsters who are settled in Canada and the United Kingdom.

These elements have drawn up a hit-list of leaders from Punjab. Following the crackdown, the state has been on high alert with several Intelligence Bureau reports suggesting a possible strike by pro-Khalistan elements. It is in this wake that the Centre decided to upgrade the security details of Bhagwant Mann.
