Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, recently granted Z-plus security by the Centre, has reportedly turned down some of the measures suggested by security agencies.

Following a threat assessment analysis by central agencies, the Central Reserve Police Force's (CRPF) VIP security branch granted Pawar Z-plus status. However, the 83-year-old former Maharashtra chief minister is claimed to have stated that he has not been notified of the reasons for his increased protection, reported PTI.
