In response, the state government ordered the Inspector General of Police to upgrade Khan’s security arrangements. Under Y+ security, Khan will be protected by a team of six trained commandos from the state’s VIP security unit, armed with MP5 guns, AK-47 assault rifles, and Glock pistols.

Additionally, four Mumbai Police personnel armed with weapons will guard Khan’s house around the clock. When Khan travels by car, there will be a trained commando in his convoy, along with a traffic clearance vehicle.

He will have to bear the expenses of this enhanced security provided by the government.

The Maharashtra government provides security protection to individuals who are under a life threat. In these instances, individuals are required to either pay a fee or provide a security deposit for the safeguarding services.
