According to reports, the Mumbai Police received intelligence inputs that there is a threat to Khan’s life from some gangsters who are unhappy with his success and popularity. The actor had also sought police protection after getting threatening calls and messages from unknown numbers. In response to the state government’s directive, the IG VIP Security has upgraded Shah Rukh Khan’s security.

Y+ Security Given To King Khan

The Y+ security cover is one of the highest levels of protection given to VIPs in India. Y+ security is granted to people facing high threat perception.

It consists of 11 security personnel, including six commandos (PSOs- Personal security officers), who are trained in close protection, combat and surveillance in three shifts for 24×7 and five armed guards at residence. The security detail will be from the special protection unit of Maharashtra Police, which is responsible for guarding the chief minister, governor and other dignitaries.

Khan is not the first Bollywood celebrity to get such a high level of security. Earlier, actors like Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar have also been provided with Y+ or Z+ security cover by the central or state governments.

Khan’s fans and colleagues have expressed their support and concern for the actor on social media.

Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta had earlier praised King Khan for his courage and determination to overcome challenges, including threats from gangsters. He had written in his tweet, “I saw JAWAN. I feel compelled to share this. Back in the 90’s when the underworld bullying of the film stars was at its peak @iamsrk was THE ONLY star who never gave in. “Goli marni hai mar do, par tumhaare liye kaam nahin karoonga. Main Pathan hoon.” He said. He’s the same today.”
