New Delhi [India], July 27 (ANI): The Centre has granted 'Y'-category armed security cover to 'Udaipur Files: Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder' producer Amit Jani in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, officials said on Sunday.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel will now provide security to Jani.

Y-category security includes a detail of 8 to 11 personnel, including commandos, to protect the individual around the clock.

Amit Jani thanked the central government for the security arrangement in a post on X. He said,'Heartfelt thanks to Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and Home Minister Shri Amit Shah ji for providing Y-category security from the Centre.'

The producer was embroiled in controversy after the Delhi High Court ordered a stay on the release of the film 'Udaipur Files: Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder' on July 11, and Producer Amit Jani stated that he would move to the Supreme Court to challenge the verdict.

'Udaipur Files: Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder' is based on the 2022 murder of Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor in Udaipur, Rajasthan, who was brutally killed in broad daylight by two men allegedly angered by a social media post in support of former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma. The incident had triggered national outrage and raised serious concerns about radicalisation and communal violence. (ANI)
