UP police to withdraw 'Y' category security to Prajapati

March 02, 2017 19:22

Police initiated steps to withdraw 'Y' category security to Gayatri Prasad Prajpati as the rape accused Uttar Pradesh minister remains elusive.

"We have initiated the process to withdraw his 'Y' category security," a senior Lucknow Police official said.

A person enjoying 'Y' category has a security cover of 11 personnel, including one or two commandos.

"Police teams are on the job and we will arrest him soon," he said even as special police teams returned empty-handed from Amethi, the minister's assembly constituency, and Delhi where he was said to be hiding.

A UP police team went to Delhi to record the statement of the 16-year-old victim who is in a state of "severe trauma" and is housed in a restricted ward at the AIIMS.
