Z to Y Category Earlier, Sourav Ganguly was receiving 'Z' category security from the State Government. Now it has been downgraded to 'Y' category as per new security protocols and threat perception assessment in 2026.

Protection Details: Before vs After Under 'Z' Category, he received security for his Behala residence, pilot car or armed escort during commute, and full movement protection across the state. Under the new 'Y' Category, he will get 3 officers from Special Branch for personal security, 3 police personnel for Behala residence guard, and no pilot car or armed escort during commute. Why This Decision? Police officials stated that this is a routine administrative procedure. The decision was taken after a review of 'Threat Perception' regarding prominent individuals in the state. The 2026 security protocol mandates periodic reassessment of security covers based on current risk levels. Background Context The upgrade to 'Z' category in 2023 was done based on threat inputs at that time.
