STC NEWS DESK
NEW DELHI, MAY 03 (STC): The CRPF jawan Munir Ahmed has been dismissed from the services for “concealing” his marriage with a Pakistani woman. The Central Reserve Police Force has stated that his action was found to be detrimental to national security, said a PTI report quoting official sources.
According to the reports, the CRPF jawan was last posted with the 41st battalion, the lead internal security force of the country.
He was “dismissed from service” under the rules that do not require conducting an enquiry, official sources said.
“Munir Ahmed has been dismissed from service with immediate effect for concealing his marriage to a Pakistani national and knowingly harbouring her beyond the validity of her visa.
“His actions were found to be in violation of service conduct and detrimental to national security,” CRPF spokesperson Deputy Inspector General (DIG) M Dhinakaran said.
The dismissed CRPF jawan’s marriage with Menal Khan came to light after India asked Pakistani nationals to leave the country as part of diplomatic measures taken in the wake of the Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 26 persons were killed.
The two got married over a video call on May 24 last year, said the report. (STC)
