Patna: Security measures would be further tightened around Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Laloo Prasad Yadav in view of the threat by the outlawed outfit, People's War (PW) to stop the ongoing operation against their colleagues or face dire consequences.

Official sources said all possible steps would be taken for the security of CM and her family members. While the CM enjoys 'Z' security, Laloo Prasad Yadav already enjoys 'Z plus' security.

Besides, the state legislature has already passed a Bill providing adequate security to CM and family members, the sources said.

Meanwhile, buoyed by the attempt in which Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and his colleagues survived with injuries last week in Tirupati, PW renewed its threat to Chief Minister Rabri Devi, Laloo Prasad Yadav and Jharkhand CM to stop the operation against ultras or else face the consequences like Andhra Pradesh CM suffered recently.

A press release issued by Sunil, secretary of Bihar-Jharkhand joint committee of PW, affiliated to its Andhra Pradesh outfit, said attack on Naidu was not a terrorists' strike. It was a special operation planned and executed by the specially trained people's guerrilla army, Sunil said.

Accusing Laloo-Rabri regimes and Jharkhand ministry of adopting repressive measures against the PW activists, the outfit pledged to avenge the killing of all its members in police operation.
