The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has dismissed a jawan from service for hiding his marriage to a Pakistani woman and for sheltering her beyond the permitted visa duration, calling his actions a serious violation of service conduct and a threat to national security.
In an official statement, the CRPF said:
“In a matter of serious concern, CT/GD Munir Ahmed of 41 Battalion of CRPF 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.”
This decision comes at a time when India is adopting strict measures against Pakistan in response to its alleged support for cross-border terrorism—particularly in the wake of the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, where 26 people lost their lives.
In response to the attack, India has suspended the Indus Water Treaty and shut down the Integrated Check Post at Attari, intensifying diplomatic and strategic pressure.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, speaking on 23 April following a Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting, announced several key decisions:
- Pakistani nationals are now barred from travelling to India under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES).
- All previously issued SVES visas to Pakistani nationals are now cancelled.
- Any Pakistani national currently in India under this visa has been given 48 hours to leave.
- The strength of both Indian and Pakistani High Commissions will be reduced from 55 to 30, with changes to take effect by 1 May 2025.
Misri added that the CCS had reviewed the overall security scenario and instructed all forces to remain on high alert.
The committee also resolved to hold the perpetrators of the Pahalgam attack accountable, along with those who supported or enabled the act from across the border.
