The Central Government on Tuesday has extended ‘Y’ category Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) security cover to Sushil Kumar Rinku and Sheetal Angural.
This security provision is exclusively for the state of Punjab, aimed at ensuring the safety of the aforementioned leaders.
Sushil Kumar Rinku is a former Aam Aadmi Party Member of Parliament. Whereas, Sheetal Angural a Member of the Legislative Assembly. Both made headlines by joining the BJP.
Earlier, both the leaders met the party national president, JP Nadda, at his residence. Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar was also present during the meeting.

Meanwhile, Sushil Kumar Rinku has been given a ticket by the BJP to contest from Jalandhar. While joining the BJP, Rinku stated that he had taken this decision for the development of Jalandhar.
Rinku said, “I have taken this decision for the development of Jalandhar. We will take Jalandhar forward. We will bring all the projects of the Central Government to Jalandhar.”
He claimed that the AAP government in Punjab has failed to undertake any significant development initiatives.
The decision to provide ‘Y’ category security was prompted by intelligence inputs from the Intelligence Bureau, citing potential threats following the entry of these two politicians into the BJP fold.
This move underscores the significance of ensuring the safety and security of political figures amidst the fervor of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
