Jaishankar, who currently receives 'Z' category armed protection from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), will now have an enhanced security vehicle for his nationwide movements.

The CRPF made this decision after a recent threat assessment linked to India-Pakistan tensions indicated the need for increased protection.

Notably, in October last year, Jaishankar's security level was raised from 'Y' to 'Z' category.

The CRPF had taken over the charge of Jaishankar's security from the Delhi Police.
