Viral Photo of Woman Guarding PM Modi Misidentified as SPG Commando

The woman in the image shared by Kangana Ranaut is a CRPF officer assigned to President Murmu, not a member of the Special Protection Group.

Kangana Ranaut shared a photo on Instagram showing a woman walking behind Prime Minister Modi, sparking widespread speculation about her identity.
Many social media users incorrectly assumed the woman was part of the elite Special Protection Group (SPG) tasked with protecting the Prime Minister.
Security sources clarified that the woman is a Personal Security Officer (PSO) to President Droupadi Murmu and an Assistant Commandant in the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
The post was widely praised as a symbol of women empowerment, though the misidentification led to some confusion online.
The CRPF and Indian armed forces have increasingly integrated women into various roles, including leadership positions in air defense, intelligence, and engineering units.
