While Parkash already enjoys NSG protection, sources say Sukhbir may also get a team of black cats. Sukhbir is currently guarded by CISF commandos.

Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh is also slated to get the NSG cover due to threats from naxals.

NSG chief Arvind Ranjan said formal orders with regard to Raman Singh’s security would be issued by the Union home ministry.
