NEW DELHI, NOVEMBER 14: The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has terminated a probationary constable from service for allegedly posting a death threat against his company commander on social media, officials said on Saturday.
The accused has been identified as Pinak Nath, a probationary constable from Assam, who was part of Alpha Company of the CRPF’s 33rd Battalion stationed in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir. Officials said he had joined the force recently.
According to officials, Nath allegedly posted a message on a social media platform threatening to kill his company commander before taking his own life. The post reportedly referred to a recent incident in another security force in which a jawan allegedly used his service weapon to kill a senior officer and other colleagues.
Following the incident, the battalion’s Commanding Officer conducted an inquiry into the matter.
Based on the findings of the inquiry, Nath was terminated from service on Friday under the provisions of the Central Civil Services (Temporary Service) Rules, 1965.
The action was taken after the alleged social media threat came to the notice of the CRPF authorities.
