Jammu:
A few hours after being dismissed from service to “hide” her marriage with a Pakistani woman, on Saturday, CRPF Trouper Munir Ahmed said that she completed her marriage almost a month after receiving permission from the force’s headquarters last year.
In April 2017, Munir Ahmed, a resident of Gharota area of Jammu, who joined CRPF in April 2017, said that he would challenge his dismissal in the law of law. “I am sure to get justice”.
The Central Reserve Police Force has dismissed Ahmed to “hide” his marriage with Pakistani woman Minal Khan and deliberately disturb her beyond the legitimacy of his visa, saying that his work was harmful to national security.
“I initially came to know about my dismissal through media reports. I soon received a letter from CRPF, in which I was informed about the dismissal, which came as a blow to me and my family as I have sought and got permission from a Pakistani woman from the headquarters,” Ahmed told PTI on his home.
Ahmed’s marriage to Khan was said to leave the country as part of diplomatic measures in the wake of the Pahalgam terrorist attack after leaving the country from Pakistani citizens of India, in which 26 people were killed.
Khan entered India on 28 February via the Vaga-Attari border and its short-term visa ended on 22 March. However, her exile was stopped by the High Court and is currently living in Ahmed’s Jammu residence.
“I did the first correspondence on 31 December, 2022, informing my desire to marry Pakistani National and I was asked to fulfill the formalities such as passports, marriage cards and copies of affidavits.
He said, “I presented my affidavit and also handed over the affidavit of my parents, sarpanch and member of the District Development Council through appropriate channels and finally proceeded from the headquarters on 30 April 2024.”
CRPF Trupener said that he had applied for the No Usebuzence Certificate (NOC), but he was told that such a provision was not available and he has already completed the formalities by informing the government about his marriage as per the rules.
“We got married online through a video call on May 24 last year. Later, I presented the wedding photos, ‘Nikka’ paper and marriage certificate to my 72 battalion, where I was posted.
“When she first came on a 15-day visa on February 28, we applied for a long-term visa in March and completed the necessary formalities, including interviews,” he said, it was highlighted that it paved the way for the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh to provide relief to the High Court of his wife on Wednesday.
Ahmed said that he returned to his duties at the end of his holiday period and was asked to report to the battalion headquarters in Sunderbani on 25 March, but on 27 March, “I was given a transfer order and posted with the 41st battalion in Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh).
“I was given a copy of the order and got immediate relief, I left without any option, but to join my duties in Bhopal where I joined on March 29. On reaching there, I faced the commanding officer and his deputy interview and completed the documentation process and clearly mentioned my marriage to a Pakistani woman,” he said that he had entered my battalion data records.
CRPF Trupener said that he would carry forward the court in the next few days to challenge his dismissal.
“I hope to get justice from the law of law,” he said.
