Overview
- On July 30, the CRPF filed a counter-affidavit in the Jammu and Kashmir High Court defending its May 2 dismissal of constable Munir Ahmed for secretly marrying a Pakistani national.
- The counter-affidavit accuses Ahmed of forging his wife’s nikahnama signature and concealing her visa overstay and pending long-term visa application.
- CRPF officials warn that Ahmed’s access to troop deployments, camp security, and arms details could be exploited by his undisclosed marriage.
- The High Court stayed Menal Khan’s deportation at the Attari border on April 27 after her short-term visa expired during post-Pahalgam terror attack visa revocations.
- Ahmed is challenging his dismissal under the Central Civil Services Conduct Rules of 1964 and has cited earlier no-objection requests and letters from BJP MPs.
