New Delhi: Pune-based Serum Institute chief Adar Poonawalla will be provided “Y category” security across the country.
“Y category” security involves the presence of 11 security personnel – one or two of them commandos and the rest policemen.
The centre’s decision has come after Director, Government and Regulatory Affairs at Pune-based Serum Institute, Prakash Kumar Singh had written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah on April 16 requesting security for Poonawalla.
In this letter, Singh had stated that Poonawalla has been getting threats from various groups regarding the COVID-19 vaccine supplies.
