Security was adequate: Govt.

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, JULY 25. The Centre today said the security provided to Ms. Phoolan Devi was not scaled down and was ``commensurate with the threat perception to her security''.

A Home Ministry press release said Ms. Phoolan Devi had been provided a personal security officer round the clock in New Delhi since her release from jail on parole in 1994.

``At no time was her security scaled down by the Delhi police, and the present security arrangements were considered commensurate with the threat perceptions to her security. She had also been provided adequate security by the U.P. Government during her visits to her constituency and other parts of the State.''
