Security increased for CBI joint director

In view of the fast-changing developments in the high-profile YSR Congress chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy assets case, the Cyberabad police on Saturday stepped up security at the residence of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) joint director VV Lakshminarayana.

The Cyberabad police said that though there was no change in the personal security enjoyed by Lakshminarayana and CBI superintendent of police H Venkatesh, the security cover at CBI quarters, Madhapur, where the two officers stay, was beefed up by posting more personnel.

As of now, both the officers enjoy 2+2 gunmen round-the-clock. Earlier, when their personal security was increased by the sate government as they were dealing with several high-profile cases, the officers refused security. However, they later accepted it after the state police informed them about threat to their lives.
