NEW DELHI: The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has dismissed jawan Munir Ahmed for allegedly concealing his marriage to a Pakistani national, a move deemed detrimental to national security, officials said on Saturday.
Ahmed, who was serving with the CRPF's 41st battalion, was terminated without a formal inquiry under rules allowing immediate dismissal in sensitive matters.
According to CRPF spokesperson DIG M Dhinakaran, “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.”
Ahmed married Menal Khan from Pakistan via video call on May 24, 2023. His relationship surfaced recently after the Centre directed Pakistani nationals to leave the country in response to the Pahalgam terror attack , which claimed 26 lives.
A CRPF internal probe found that Ahmed had failed to report the marriage or the fact that his wife had overstayed her visa, triggering concerns over protocol breaches and potential security risks.
