On 7 September it was announced that actor Kangana Ranaut will be given Y+ level security by the Centre. This will include one personal security officer, eleven policemen and commandos. This comes after Kangana's recent comments where she compares Mumbai to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
This news has made netizens question whether or not this is appropriate use of "taxpayer's money" during a crisis situation like this.
Twitter users also compared the news to photos and videos of Rhea Chakraborty being harassed in public that went viral on 6 September.
In a video message, Himachal Pradesh's Chief Minister Jairam Thakur said, "MHA has provided 11 CRPF commandos for Kangana's security. She is Himachal's daughter and based on threat assessment even our government will provide her security."
