The Centre has decided to provide 'Z plus' security to the family of Congress leader Mahendra Karma, who was killed by Maoists in an attack in Chhattisgarh last month.

Under Z-plus category, the VIP concerned is covered by at least 20 personnel at any given point of time besides guards at home.

The Home Ministry has asked the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to ensure security to the family by taking the services of two companies (around 200 personnel) of the force present in and around Faraspal village in Dantewada district where Karma's family stays.
