Security changes were recently made for the Gandhi family. The government decided to withdraw SPG protection from the Gandhi family. Highly placed sources in the government said that the decision was taken in a meeting of the Union Home Ministry. It was told that now members of the Gandhi family will get Z plus protection of ACRPF commandos instead of SPG security. The CRPF then took over the security responsibility of Congress President Sonia Gandhi and her children Rahul and Priyanka. ZPlus Security of CRPF, which ensures safety cover by about 100 personnel.

According to the perception of the sources of the present government, the Gandhi family is now less threatened and because of this their security has been reduced earlier. Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated by the Sri Lankan terrorist group in 1991. Since then, the Gandhi family was being given strict security.

The force (SPG) of 3,000 personnel was not only given commando protection to the Gandhi family but also had uniformed agents, who had already rechecked the places where the people under their protection had to go. At the same time, the commandos were also stationed at home and when they had to go out, they used to go along. But, under Z Plus security, the Delhi Police is assigned control of the homes of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
