West Bengal Govt Downgrades Sourav Ganguly's Security From Z to Y Category After VIP Security Review
The West Bengal government downgraded Sourav Ganguly's security cover from Z category to Y category after a review of his threat perception in 2026.
Ganguly's security was upgraded to Z category in 2023 with 8 to 10 police personnel and armed escorts, but has now been reduced to Y category with fewer officers.
The downgrade is part of a statewide restructuring of VIP security to align protection with updated threat assessments and official status.
Under the Y category, Ganguly will have a smaller security detail, including police personnel and continued surveillance at his Behala residence.
