The “Z-category” security cover given to Mukul Roy, who returned to the Trinamool Congress last week along with his son, has been withdrawn as sought by him, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs.
After he quit the BJP, Mr. Roy had reportedly written to the Central government asking for the withdrawal of the security cover. Accordingly, it was taken away. It is learnt that the State police would from now on provide security to him and his son.
Mr. Roy had won on a BJP ticket from the Krishnanagar Uttar constituency. He had joined the BJP in November 2017 and was made national vice-president.
