The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), following the dismissal of two personnel linked to Pakistan-related incidents, has initiated a force‑wide review of all cases involving Pakistan Intelligence Operatives (PIOs). The directive from DG GP Singh covers all zones and sectors of the CRPF and reflects growing alarm over potential leakage of sensitive information to Pakistani operatives.

The CRPF will scrutinise all cases involving contact, communication, or compromise with Pakistan Intelligence Operatives. These cases will receive the highest priority due to their potential impact on operational secrecy and national security. Reviews should be done in 15 days to ensure continuous monitoring and prompt action.

A communication sent on Wednesday instructed all zone and sector commands and officers to provide full details on such cases, including their current status and any action taken.

Two recent cases prompted the urgency. In the first, a CRPF jawan named Munir Ahmed, posted with the 41st Battalion, was dismissed on May 2, 2025, for allegedly concealing his marriage to a Pakistani national, Menal Khan, whose visa had expired. The CRPF found he failed to formally disclose the marriage and her overstay, deeming it a breach of conduct with national security implications. Ahmed maintains that he had sought and received permission from CRPF headquarters in April 2024 after completing all formalities, and he is now challenging his dismissal in the Jammu & Kashmir High Court.

In the second, a CRPF Assistant Sub‑Inspector, Moti Ram Jat, was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in late May 2025 for alleged espionage for Pakistan intelligence officers via a honey‑trap operation. He allegedly shared classified information in exchange for payment and was dismissed from service immediately. The NIA also conducted raids at 15 locations across eight states in connection with the espionage ring.

Separate from the PIO-linked review, DG Singh has directed a detailed review of all sexual misconduct cases within the CRPF from January 1 this year to the present, stressing that disciplinary action must be firm to uphold internal integrity.

The CRPF leadership has made it clear that violations in both categories—sexual misdemeanour and contact with Pakistan intelligence pperatives—will be dealt with strictly. All zones and sectors are required to compile and submit detailed reports, with follow-up reviews scheduled every 15 days.
