Click to play videoNew Delhi: New intelligence inputs have come to the Government which have suggested that underworld don, Dawood Ibrahim, has been 'given the task' to kill senior BJP leader LK Advani and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
Following the intelligence inputs, the security of both the leaders was reviewed at a meeting of Union Home Ministry officials on Tuesday.
Both Advani, NDA's prime ministerial candidate for Lok Sabha polls, and Modi now enjoy the highest category of security cover — Z-plus — from Black Cat commandos of elite National Security Guards.
Gujarat ADG Intelligence, VC Pandey has told CNN IBN, "Looking at the threat perception the security of the Chief Minister has been increased. Earliar he was getting Z plus — security that will remain as it is — but we have increased strength in the second circle. We are focussing more on access control and bullet proofing."
The intelligence inputs about heightened threat perception of Modi were conveyed to Gujarat government which has been asked to take necessary steps for his security, they said.
Dawood has been declared a global terrorist by the United States.
