According to sources, the central government has enhanced the security cover of External Affairs Minister Jaishankar by adding an additional bulletproof vehicle to his convoy. Jaishankar will get an advanced security vehicle for his movement across the country. The CRPF has taken this decision after a recent threat assessment related to India-Pakistan tensions.
There are reports of increase in the security of External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. News agency ANI has quoted government sources as saying that Jaishankar will now travel in a bulletproof car amid tension with Pakistan. The Union Home Ministry has included a special bulletproof car in Jaishankar’s increased security. Security has also been tightened around his residence in Delhi. Jaishankar already has Z category security, which is provided by the commandos of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). A team of 33 commandos is deployed 24 hours a day for his security.
Last year the security level was increased from ‘Y’ to ‘Z’ category
In October last year, Jaishankar’s security level was increased from ‘Y’ to ‘Z’ category. The CRPF took charge of Jaishankar’s security from the Delhi Police. 69-year-old Jaishankar is currently being provided 24-hour Z-category security by an armed team of CRPF personnel. More than a dozen armed commandos are engaged in his security during his movement and stay across the country.
CRPF providing VIP security to more than 210 people
The CRPF is currently providing VIP security to more than 210 people, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Nitin Gadkari, Dalai Lama and Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. The decision to increase the security of the Foreign Minister was taken after the tension between India and Pakistan increased after India’s decisive military response after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22.
Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor and ceasefire
15 days after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, 2025 the Indian Army destroyed nine terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and PoK under ‘Operation Sindoor’ on May 7. In which many notorious terrorists were also killed. After this, the situation between the two countries deteriorated and reached its peak after two decades. On the other hand, after Pakistan targeted Indian cities, India’s air defense system foiled all the attacks and gave a befitting reply. India retaliated and destroyed 14 military bases of Pakistan. Frightened by this, Pakistan proposed a ceasefire to India on May 10, which was implemented by both the countries after mutual discussion. However, a few hours later, it was violated by Pakistan, to which the Indian Army gave a befitting reply.
