Overview

  • The Ministry of Home Affairs has enhanced S Jaishankar’s Z-category security by adding two bullet-resistant vehicles to his convoy after a recent intelligence-led threat review.
  • The security upgrade follows increased risk assessments tied to India-Pakistan tensions after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and India’s Operation Sindoor military response.
  • Operation Sindoor, conducted on May 7-8, targeted terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, neutralizing over 100 terrorists linked to groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba.
  • Jaishankar, a key figure in India’s foreign policy and diplomatic efforts, has seen successive security upgrades, including his elevation from Y to Z category protection in October 2024.
  • The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) continues to provide round-the-clock security for Jaishankar, alongside tightened measures around his residence in Delhi.
