Controversial yoga guru Baba Ramdev has been given Z-category security by the central government considering his "vulnerability to assaults from his rivals".
The decision has been taken by the home ministry in the wake of getting inputs from security organizations and expanded view of threat to Ramdev, official sources said.
As such, Ramdev was qualified for Z-category security just inside the locale of Uttarakhand according to a decision of the state government.
Near saffron forces, Ramdev, originator of Haridwar-based Patanjali Yogpeeth, had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi not long ago.
The sources said Ramdev will be given commandos of one of the paramilitary forces with quick impact. Upwards of 40 security staff will be guarding him round-the-clock.
Ramdev has been vocal for a few years requesting activity to bring back black money stashed abroad and discipline to those discovered guilty.
As a component of his against debasement development, he had held an open rally for a couple of days at Ramlila Maidan here in 2011. Taking after a police crackdown, he fled the site wearing lady's attire.
Three Congress minister Sachin Pilot, Beni Prasad Verma and Jitin Prasada are situated to lose their Z security spread, sources said.
