JAMMU: The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has terminated a jawan from service after he allegedly posted threatening messages on social media, expressing an intention to kill his company commander and then himself, officials said on Saturday.
The accused has been identified as probationary Constable Pinak Nath, a native of Assam, who was attached to the Alpha Company of the CRPF’s 33rd Battalion, based in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir. 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 initiated an inquiry into the matter. After the inquiry, Nath was terminated from service on Friday under the provisions of the Central Civil Services (Temporary Service) Rules, 1965.
