Mangaluru, Jan 11: SP B.M Lakshmi Prasad clarified that the Ministry of Central Intelligence has not sent any information to the district police on conspiring to kill RSS leaders.

Speaking to ‘Varthabharati’ here on Friday, the SP said that Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat was being given security since long back. But the number of security personnel was not increased. It is false that additional security personnel were increased. As usual, the senior police officers go to his house and verify the situation, he said.

“We did not get any official communication from the centre about the threat to Kalladka Bhat. He is under police security. But the department will make some changes in the security arrangements. When he goes out, the escort vehicle will be provided to him and it is a common process”, the SP said.
