Rajnath Singh's house has TWENTY security flaws, Intelligence Bureau warns



Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh's official residence does not meet the necessary security requirements, according to the Intelligence Bureau (IB).



The matter came to light during a recent security review meeting between IB officials and senior Delhi Police officers.

Sources said it was also discussed that eight Union ministers, including Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley, Venkaih Naidu, Nitin Gadkari, Ram Vilas Paswan and Kiren Rijiju, faced high security threat.

The IB additional director, joint director and senior Delhi Police officers were present in the meeting.



Sources said Delhi Police officers highlighted at least 20 shortcomings at the Union home minister's residence when it comes to security.

Sources said out of 20, around 12 security issues had been fixed, but the remaining eight were yet to be rectified.



The officers said the minister's residence was in close proximity to Jantar Mantar and Parliament, where protesters gather.



They also said there was a possibility of law and order problems in the area.

In the meeting, it was also decided that the Delhi Police, National Security Guard and UP Police would coordinate well to provide fool-proof security at the home minister's residence.



The officials pointed out that the area of minister's residence was too small to ensure adequate security cover.



Singh is a Z+ security protectee, and therefore at any given point of time 50 security personnel are deployed at his residence.

Officers also pointed out vehicles of his cavalcade didn't have adequate parking facility outside his house.



Earlier boundary walls of the minister's house had to be raised to ensure better security.
