According to official sources, former Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi has been accorded the highest level of security, 'Z+' VIP cover, by the central government, PTI reported.

Sources also said that the 66-year-old Rajya Sabha member will be protected by armed commandos of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) during his travels across the country. Earlier, Delhi Police was responsible for Gogoi’s security.
