Home Ministry official summoned

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Monday summoned the Director, VIP Security in the Union Home Ministry, to assist it in hearing a petition by India TV's `Most Wanted' producer, Suhaib Ilyasi, seeking a direction to the Government and the police to provide him security.

Justice Vikramjit Sen summoned the Director when an Upper Division Clerk of the Ministry failed to reply to queries of the Court regarding the plea.

Mr. Justice Sen directed the Director to be present in the Court on August 12.

In his petition, Mr. Ilyasi submitted that he required security because he had received threat calls from a Bollywood actor on whose alleged racket of trapping and exploiting innocent girls he had conducted a sting operation.
