Tamil Nadu Police Downgrade M.K. Stalin's Security Cover After Routine Review
Tamil Nadu Police have downgraded former Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin's security cover from Z to a lower category following a routine review by the Core Cell Security Wing. The decision, based on intelligence inputs and threat assessments, reduces personnel from 58 to 33 but maintains substantial protection including escort and personal security officers. Officials described this as a rationalization rather than a withdrawal, with the new arrangement effective until the next scheduled review or updated threat evaluation.
