Based on petition filed by Revanth, the high court had directed the government to provide 4+4 security to Revanth Reddy till the counting is over on December 11. Though Revanth wanted the security personnel to be from Central Paramilitary units, as it was not possible for the state to provide the preferred personnel, he was finally provided with state police security with four gunmen guarding him at any given time along with an armed escort team.

After the counting of votes was over on December 11, Revanth surrendered the security personnel. "Revanth returned the gunmen and escort team on Tuesday night on his own," Additional DG (L&O) Jitender said.
