Ministry of home affairs withdraws Hardik Patel’s security

Hardik Patel (File Photo) AHMEDABAD: The ministry of home affairs (MHA) has withdrawn the ‘Y’ category security cover given to Patidar quota stir leader Hardik Patel . Patel, who addressed more than 100 public meetings in the run up to the 2017 Gujarat assembly elections, was given ‘Y’ category security in November 2017, which entailed a security detail of CISF jawans. Top police officials said that after a re-assessment, the MHA wrote to the CISF to withdraw his security cover. “We have asked Ahmedabad city and rural police to re-assess the threat perception to Hardik Patel and accordingly decide whether on providing him local-level security or not,” said a senior police official. Hardik tweeted, “Lets is whether this is a plan to kill me or sent me to jail. I do my work, the fruit, whether good or bad will be borne by me.” Police sources said the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) will now withdraw Patel’s security cover at its convenience. The central government had proposed ‘Y’ category cover for Patel just before the Gujarat assembly polls, as he was travelling widely and the possibility of an attack on him could not be ruled out. Patel had initially declined the security detail, but in November 2017, when central intelligence assessed that he faced a possible threat, Patel accepted it. Patel had then said that he had been persuaded by senior IAS and IPS officers that the threat perception was real and he ought to accept the security cover. “A security detail of eight armed CISF jawans was provided at his residence and when he moved about,” said a senior police official. This April, the Gujarat government asked the Gujarat high court to cancel Patel’s bail in a sedition case he faces, on the grounds that he had gone to Ramol, an area the his bail conditions prohibited for him entering. Meanwhile, on April 7, a man was arrested in Ujjain after he threw ink at Hardik Patel at a hotel. The accused, Milind Gurjar, threw ink at him. Gurjar had admitted that he threw ink as he was annoyed that Patel was allegedly fooling the Gurjar and Patidar communities for his own interest. The Patidar leader had earlier attended several programmes at Neemuch and Mandsaur. Get latest news & live updates on the go on your pc with News App .

The Edward Snowden Interview Closed-circuit television In recent years, the use of body worn video cameras has been introduced as a new form of surveillance, often used in law enforcement, with cameras located on a police officer's chest or head. Video surveillance has generated significant debate about balancing its use with individuals' right to privacy even when in public. Special cameras for some of these purposes include line-scan cameras and thermographic cameras which allow operators to measure the temperature of the processes. With the addition of fixed cameras for the active traffic management system, the number of cameras on the Highways Agency's CCTV network is likely to increase significantly over the next few years. The cameras send the feed to a central control center where a producer selects feeds to send to the television monitors that fans can view.  New York C...

Security company in Bellevue vandalized

BELLEVUE, Neb. (KMTV) - An Omaha home security company based out of Bellevue is using its own camera to help track down a thief who stole items from outside their building. Chris Malmberg, the owner of Omaha Security Systems Inc. says an unidentified man stole nearly $300 worth of landscaping Sunday night. "The motion sensors went off and I got a notification on my phone that he was there. We saw him take the plants, we watched him drive away and then immediately contacted police," said Malmberg. "He was real nervous, but he ended up stealing shrubbery, Hosta plants, I mean - never in my life have I ever known somebody to steal landscaping." Malmberg said the plants could be replaced, but what's frustrating is that this is one of several vandalism incidents his business has experienced since OSSI moved into the building near Jefferson and Mission Ave. "We've had vandalism, we've had items stolen, or attempted to be stolen, with the security that we...
