Soren's directive came after Dhoni went to the Birsa Munda airport here on December 4 last without any "armed men" to board a flight to Chennai to participate in the selection committee meeting.

Jharkhand Police spokesman SN Pradhan on Thursday said that Dhoni had been given Z category security and he was rather unhappy over too many policemen guarding him.

Dhoni's former coach Chanchhal Bhattacharya, however, claimed the Z category security was provided to Dhoni just "on paper".

The Jharkhand government last year announced the Z security for the dashing wicketkeeper-batsman following media reports that he might face threats from the naxals, who infested 18 of its districts.
