New Delhi, Apr 25: The security cover of Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from the Bhopal Lok Sabha constituency, was strengthened on Wednesday, officials said.

The decision was taken a day after a man holding black flag approached Thakur while she was filing her nomination papers on Tuesday. Her supporters later thrashed the man.

Besides heightening the security at her residence, the number of security personnel around her has also been increased.

According to informed sources, Thakur may be provided Z-category security.

She is contesting the Lok Sabha elections against former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh.

Sadhvi is facing trial under  terror charges for the Malegaon bomb blast which killed six people. She was arrested under the  under stringent sections of The Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) in a Mumbai court, and is now out on bail allegedly as her health as deteriorated.

On September 29, 2008, explosives hidden in an LML Freedom motorcycle went off  in Malegaon, Maharashtra, which left six people dead and injured over a 100.

The investigation led by then Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare, who died while fighting Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists traced the motorcycle to Sadhvi.

Recently, Sadhvi claimed that Karkare had framed her in the bomb blast case, and her 'curse' had led to his death. Faced by strong criticism, she withdrew her comments later.
