Why does CJI Dipak Misra have Z-plus security cover?
The newly appointed Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra was given a Z-plus security cover after he rejected the final plea by 1993 Mumbai blasts convict, Yakub Memon, in 2015. After the hearing, an anonymous death-threat letter was thrown into his official residence, prompting the Home Ministry to heighten his security. Notably, his security cover has been retained since then.
