MS Dhoni would get enhanced security cover after Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren asked for extra cover.
The Chief Minister yesterday asked the Director General of Police V D Ram, to review Dhoni's security, and replace security personnel with another team of armed men. If required, provide him with commandos," CM's Press Secretary Safiq Ansari told PTI, quoting Soren's directive.Soren's direction came in the wake of Dhoni's going to the Birsa Munda airport on Thursday without any "armed men" to board a flight to Chennai to participate in the selection committee meeting.Jharkhand Police spokesman S N Pradhan on Thursday said that Dhoni had been given Z category security and he was rather unhappy over too many policemen guarding him.Dhoni's former coach Chanchhal Bhattacharya, however, claimed the Z category security was provided to Dhoni just "on paper".The Jharkhand government last year announced the Z security for the dashing wicketkeeper-batsman following media reports that he might face threats from the naxals, who infested 18 of its districts.
