The Central Industrial Security Force has written to the ministry of home affairs to review the security of Lok Sabha MP Navneet Rana, who has been in controversy over the Hanuman Chalisa issue since April.

Rana was accorded armed VIP security cover by the CISF at the end of April this year.

The CISF has been providing 'Y' category with all India security cover to her since April 14. She was provided Central security cover after a threat analysis by the MHA.

Rana, a former Indian actress who mainly acted in Telugu cinema, is an elected Member of Parliament from Amravati in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections as an independent candidate.

Rana and her husband Ravi Rana, who is an independent MLA, were arrested in April end from their Mumbai residence after declaring that they would recite the Hanuman Chalisa outside Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's home in Bandra. -- ANI
