Maharashtra to Review Security for Zeeshan Siddique
Zeeshan Siddique, the son of a late politician, had his security reduced from a high level to just two police officers.
His family says they've received new threats, so the court is making the government check if his security should be increased again.
The government has promised to review the situation quickly.
The court will check on this again in January.
If the family isn't happy with the decision, they can go back to court.
