| Jammu and Kashmir has given X-2 level security to Youth Congress leader, SC told | | |
NEW DELHI: The Jammu and Kashmir government has informed the Supreme Court that it has provided X category security cover to a Youth Congress leader, who complained of threat to his life.
The top court directed the state government to keep providing security cover to Abid Imitaz Bhat alias Abid Kashmiri, who is a national secretary of the All India Youth Congress, unless there is a change in threat perception.
ices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud also said the state government should give due notice to Bhat before his security cover is withdrawn.
Advocate Shoeb Alam, appearing for the state government said that high-level Security Review Coordination Committee (SRCC) has taken a decision to provide X-2 level security cover, which comprises one personal security officer round the clock with him.
The X-2 level is one of the subcategories of the X level security.
Earlier, Bhat had moved the Delhi High Court seeking direction to the state government that it provides security to him and his family members on the ground that he faced threat to his life.
