Overview
- Munir Ahmed, dismissed from the CRPF on May 3, 2025, denies allegations of concealing his marriage to Pakistani national Meenal Khan and claims he informed authorities in 2022 and 2024.
- Ahmed asserts he received a formal acknowledgment from CRPF headquarters in April 2024 and married Meenal via video conference in May 2024, citing family health concerns.
- Meenal Khan entered India on February 28, 2025, on a 15-day visa, which expired in March; Ahmed applied for a long-term visa for her, and the J&K High Court stayed her deportation on April 29.
- CRPF maintains Ahmed violated service rules and compromised national security, citing an internal inquiry that found he married without prior approval and harbored his wife beyond her visa validity.
- Ahmed plans to challenge his dismissal in court, presenting documentation to support his claims and seeking intervention from national leaders for justice.
