Analysed 3 Aug 2026·2 sources analysed·West Bengal, India·Politics
West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari Uses Bulletproof Vehicle After Terror ThreatPreviousNext

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has started using a bulletproof vehicle following intelligence from the state's Special Task Force about a potential threat from the Pakistan-based terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed and the Shahzad Bhatti Network. This security enhancement comes after the recent arrest of two suspected operatives linked to these groups and the assassination of Adhikari's close aide, Chandranath Rath. Authorities recovered documents related to the chief minister's schedule from the suspects, prompting a review of his security arrangements.
