Special Security Group (VIP Security) aka SSG Ninja
06 May 2024 21:18

In 2006, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), on the basis of recommendations of the Intelligence Bureau, raised a special unit called
Special Security Group (SSG) to provide security cover to people nominated by the Home Ministry. It came into existence on 17 November
2006. This unit is responsible for providing physical protection, evacuation, mobile and static security cover to persons who have been
nominated by the Home Ministry.

For a person to be eligible for security cover by CISF special unit, the intelligence bureau and other secret police agencies are required to specify
the danger after a detailed 'threat analysis', which are often fudged for political and other considerations.

In addition to CISF the Government also utilizes the National Security Guard (NSG), CRPF, BSF, and ITBP for personal security cover.
