Audit finds no security review done in a long time
Mahender Singh Manral

The Delhi Police plans to approach the ministry of home affairs with a list of 18 former ministers of state (MoS) and 12 former members of Parliament who have security cover even after completion of their tenure/term.

It has been learnt that police will ask the ministry to decide whether the security cover needs to be retained for these individuals.

A source in the Delhi Police headquarters said the security unit conducted an audit a few months ago after it noticed that multiple people had security cover and that a review had not been undertaken for a long time in the case of some.

"After the audit, the security cover of many people was removed. But it also found that many MoS, MPs and other persons, even after completing their designated tenure, still had security cover," a source said.
