It was the threat perception analysis by Intelligence Bureau tipped off by the Indian military intelligence from across the border that led to 'Y' Category security being provided to Times Now Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami.


Two militant outfits in Pakistan have detailed a chat about Arnab Goswami and the eight-page conversation in Urdu was provided by Military Intelligence to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs according to highly placed Army sources in South Block, New Delhi. His security is likely to be looked after by the Maharashtra government.



Joint Secretary in the Union Home Ministry had sought help from DGP Maharashtra to provide 20  policemen to Goswami round-the-clock.
Four police guards will be posted at his house and four will be in his office. Goswami will now have to share his schedule  of engagements with the police and all visitors will be frisked. 


Goswami is not the first journalist to get security cover from the Centre. Before him, journalists such as Zee Newss Sudhir Chaudhary (X category), Samachar Pluss Umesh Kumar (Y category) and Ashwini Kumar Chopra (Z Plus category) have been provided security by the government.
