The Uttar Pradesh government has accorded Y-category security to Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) Chief Om Prakash Rajbhar. While the Samajwadi Party (SP) suggested the move is a quid pro quo of the growing proximity between Rajbhar and BJP, the SBSP leadership described it a fruition of a long-standing demand which was supported by the SP.
In a letter addressed to the Additional Director General of Police (Security), Joint Secretary of Home Department Vinay Kumar Singh said, it has been decided to extend Y-category security to SBSP president, former cabinet minister, and Zahurabad MLA Om Prakash Rajbhar, provisionally.
Earlier, party spokesperson Arun Rajbhar confirmed that his father has been provided Y-category security.
