When he resigned from his post, Delhi Police continued the same Z category security but only when Kejriwal was under its jurisdiction. Kejriwal, who lives in Ghaziabad, is currently protected by 12 police personnel, including an escort vehicle of the Uttar Pradesh police.

The Delhi police has already conveyed to its counterparts in Ghaziabad about the security arrangements made for Kejriwal. After he takes oath Saturday, other facilities such as deployment of traffic police motorcycles for clearance of roads for his convoy will be provided.
