Mumbai Police has decided to downgrade the security cover of 40 celebrities including that of actors Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. Mumbai police, after its annual assessment on threat cover, has decided to take this move. Sources says “It was needed to nix unwanted security cover to these celebrities. We have taken this decision and would get it implemented at the earliest.”
Police confirmed they were providing security to around 40 Bollywood celebrities. But the numbers have now reduced to 15 personalities who have genuine threats to their lives. Recently, an audit was conducted by Mumbai police on security cover given to celebrities.
Sources says, the security cover of Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Raj Kumar Hirani, Farah Khan, Karim Morani and few others have been withdrawn completely. Those 15 personalities who would be getting the security cover includes Akshay Kumar, Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Dilip Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar.
