CRPF carries out vigilance check of over 3 lakh personnel

The CRPF has carried out a mega check amongst its over 3 lakh personnel to audit any possible "subversive" elements in its ranks in the wake of a JK Police DSP being caught with terrorists recently, the chief of the force said here on Tuesday.

CRPF Director General (DG) A P Maheshwari said the apprehension of DSP Davinder Singh is "a graveincident and an area of extreme concern" for the security forces.

"No security grid should be allowed to be weakened by such episodes. So, all forces have to keep an internal watch," he said.

"All forces should maintain vigilance so that there is no such type of subversion or some sort of intrusion within the force and to see that somebody is trying to collaborate with the adversaries," the DG told reporters here.

He added that DSP Davinder Singh being caught by JK Police along with terrorists was "a serious matter."
"But, if something happens somewhere, it is a case to revisit ourselves and that is what we have done and we have no doubt about our personnel."
