Kolkata: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Saturday provided Y+ security to Suvendu Adhikari’s father Sisir Kumar Adhikari and brother Dibyendu Adhikari in West Bengal on the basis of a threat perception report prepared by central security agencies. The CRPF will provide them security.
While Sisir Kumar Adhikari is a member of Parliament (MP) from the Kanthi Lok Sabha seat, Dibyendu Adhikari is a Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP from Tamluk in the state.
Sisir Kumar Adhikari and Dibyendu Adhikari were former members of the ruling Trinamool Congress party. However, they severed tied with the TMC after Suvendu Adhikari, once Mamata’s close aide, joined BJP. Sisir Adhikari followed suit and joined BJP in the run-up to West Bengal polls held in April-May.
