Bengal government reduces Sourav Ganguly’s security cover

Former Team India captain and ex-BCCI president Sourav Ganguly’s security has been downgraded by the newly formed government in Bengal. His protection has been reduced from Z category to Y category following a fresh security review by the state authorities.

Earlier in 2023, his security was upgraded from Y to Z category due to perceived threats. Under Z category, Ganguly was protected by a team of 8 to 10 police personnel. In Y category, his security cover will now include a smaller police detail, including personnel from the Special Branch.
