CRPF Issues Show-Cause Notices to Eight Trainee Assistant Commandants

The force has ordered immediate written explanations and says it will decide on further disciplinary steps after those replies are examined.

Overview

CRPF headquarters has served show-cause notices to eight Assistant Commandants for allegedly declining a working lunch hosted by SDG Amit Kumar during a GO’s Tech Course in Madhya Pradesh, according to internal communications and news reports.
An earlier notice dated June 30 gave the officers three days to respond but received no replies, prompting a 'Most Urgent' follow-up that warned units failure to obtain explanations could lead to ex-parte action.
Reporting identifies the incident as potential insubordination but the internal documents and spokespeople have not disclosed why the officers refused to attend the lunch.
A senior CRPF officer told reporters that any further penalties will be decided only after the force receives and examines the officers’ written explanations.
The dispute raises questions about training protocols and chain-of-command expectations, and could affect working relations between junior officers and senior leadership depending on how the force proceeds.
