A specially dedicated team will be deployed outside the Bachchans' house in Juhu, following any danger from threats. 

"The police will increase the security to the Bachchan family after they faced trolling and harassment in the wake of Jaya Bachchan's statements in the Rajya Sabha," Mumbai Guardian Minister Aslam Shaikh said on Wednesday.

The police will also take into accounts online bullying and harassment targeting the family, it was added.
