The security of Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh, who has been surrounded by controversies for a long time, has been increased. The Union Home Ministry has provided him Y category security. This security has been provided on the basis of the Threat Perception Report of the Intelligence Bureau, in which there is a threat to his life. Now, 11 CRPF personnel will be deployed to protect Pawan Singh and stay with him at all times.
Main reason for increased security
Pawan Singh is not the first famous artist to get this protection. However, this important decision in his case has been taken recently due to the controversies associated with him. Sources said that the government has taken this step in view of these controversies and security threats. The security risk was assessed in the IB’s Threat Perception Report, following which the Home Ministry decided to provide him with Y category security.
This security increase for Pawan Singh comes at a time when he is becoming more active in politics. He has recently joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). After joining the party, he met key leaders like Home Minister Amit Shah and Upendra Kushwaha in Delhi. It is believed that he may contest Bihar Assembly elections. There is talk that BJP may make him its candidate in the upcoming elections. Providing Y category security is also a sign of his increasing political activism.
Other artists who entered Bihar politics
Pawan Singh is not the only artist whose entry into Bihar politics is being discussed. Many other Bhojpuri and folk artistes are also coming closer to political parties. Folk singer Maithili Thakur recently met BJP national general secretaries Vinod Tawde and Nityanand Rai. Actress Akshara Singh also met BJP Minister Giriraj Singh, due to which speculations about her also entering the electoral fray have intensified. With the political entry of these Bhojpuri superstars, the atmosphere of Bihar elections may become more heated. Their increased security is being linked to this political scenario.
