Patna, April 18 The Bihar government has revised the security cover of former Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha from Z+ to Z category following a review by the State Security Committee.
Soon after the formation of the new government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary in Bihar, a significant reshuffle was carried out in the security categorisation of several prominent individuals across the state.
According to an official notification issued by the Home Department, the changes have been implemented following recommendations from the State Security Committee.
The revision in Vijay Kumar Sinha’s security cover has emerged as the most notable development in this reshuffle.
Sinha, who was earlier provided Z+ category security, has now been placed under the Z category, marking a reduction in his security cover.
The move has drawn attention, especially in the context of the recent political transition in the state.
While authorities have described the decision as part of a routine review, its timing has triggered speculation in political and administrative circles.
The Home Department has maintained that the decision was taken after a standard assessment of threat perception by the State Security Committee.
However, observers are linking the development to the broader administrative changes being rapidly implemented since the new government took charge.
Since assuming office, Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has initiated a series of swift decisions across various departments, and the revision of VIP security is being viewed as part of this wider administrative reset.
Responding to the change, Vijay Kumar Sinha offered a brief and measured reaction.
“It is fine; the government takes decisions as it deems fit,” Sinha said.
His response, though restrained, has done little to quell the speculation surrounding the reasons behind the sudden revision.
The reshuffle in security arrangements is being seen as a key indicator of the evolving political and administrative landscape in Bihar.
Whether it remains a routine exercise or signals deeper shifts in the state’s power dynamics is likely to become clearer in the coming days.
