Kangana Ranaut given Y-plus category security by Centre
New Delhi: Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has been given Y-plus category security by central security agencies, officials said on Monday.

The home ministry has decided to accord Ranaut Y-plus category security through one of the paramilitary personnel, a home ministry official said.
The Y-plus category central cover entails deployment of about 10 armed commandos with the protectee, the official said.

Kumaraswamy backs Banu Mushtaq for Dasara inauguration, objects to Dy CM’s remarks
Bengaluru: Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Thursday said he had no objection to Booker Prize winner Banu Mushtaq inaugurating the Mysuru Dasara, diverging from the stand of his party’s ally, the BJP.
Speaking to reporters, Kumaraswamy said his objection was to Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar’s remark that Goddess Chamundi was not just the property of Hindus. “I have no objection to choosing Banu Mushtaq. But saying that temples are not just the property of Hindus is arrogance and will cause big damage to the government,” he said, according to a report published by Deccan Herald.
His son and JD(S) youth wing leader Nikhil Kumaraswamy said the party’s concern was with Mushtaq’s reservations about Kannadambe and other cultural issues. “We respect her and it is not that she should not inaugurate Dasara. Earlier, poet Nisar Ahmed had inaugurated it. Our only objection is to her stand on Kannadambe and related cultural issues,” he said.
On the Dharmasthala issue, Kumaraswamy criticised the Congress government, terming the SIT probe a “drama.” He alleged that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah acted on a complaint by one Dwarakanath under pressure from left-leaning groups.
