Uddhav Thackeray, who became Chief Minister, was given a Z-level security and the security of Uddhav's son, Aditya Thackeray, was enhanced. Now Aditya was given Y plus level security and was increased to Z level security.

The security of Anna Hazare, a retired Indian Army employee and renowned social worker, was also enhanced.

The decision was taken in the wake of the Maharashtra State Government's deliberations on the issue of security for high profile people. According to the security given to Sachin earlier, twenty-four hours a police constable was staying with him.
