CRPF removes jawan from service for posting death threat to Commander on social media
The battalion’s Commanding Officer conducted an inquiry, following which the jawan was terminated from service on Friday (November 13, 2026)
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has terminated a probationary Constable, Pinak Nath, from service for allegedly posting death threats against his Company Commander on social media. Nath, who belonged to the Alpha Company of the CRPF's 33rd battalion in Doda, Jammu and Kashmir, had recently joined the force. The threat, which included a plan to kill the commander and then himself, came in the wake of a similar incident where a jawan had killed his senior and colleagues using a service weapon.
Following an inquiry conducted by the battalion's Commanding Officer, Nath was dismissed from service under the provisions of the Central Civil Services (Temporary Service) Rules, 1965.
