Sacked CRPF Jawan Says He Had Official Nod for Marriage to Pakistani Woman, Plans Legal Challenge

Former CRPF trooper Munir Ahmed, who was recently dismissed from service for allegedly concealing his marriage to a Pakistani woman, has denied any wrongdoing, stating that he had obtained official approval from the force’s headquarters before tying the knot with Minal Khan, a Pakistani national.


Ahmed claimed he was shocked to learn of his dismissal through media reports, followed by a formal communication from the CRPF. The dismissal cited “national security concerns” and accused him of harboring his wife beyond her visa validity. Ahmed said he would challenge the decision in court.

“I had sought permission well in advance and submitted all required documents, including passports, marriage cards, and affidavits. I received approval on April 30, 2024, from the CRPF headquarters,” he stated.

Timeline of Events:

  • December 31, 2022: Ahmed first informed CRPF authorities of his intention to marry a Pakistani citizen.
  • May 24, 2024: The couple married online via video call, submitting marriage photos and certificates to CRPF’s 72 Battalion.
  • February 28, 2025: Minal Khan arrived in India on a 15-day visa.
  • March 2025: The couple applied for a Long-Term Visa, completing all necessary formalities, including an interview.
  • March 29, 2025: Ahmed joined the 41st Battalion in Bhopal, clearly disclosing his marriage during official procedures and interviews.

Ahmed said his case was scrutinized after media reports suggested his wife might be deported. However, the Jammu & Kashmir High Court intervened, allowing Minal Khan to stay in Jammu after recognizing the legal steps taken by the couple and the pending Long-Term Visa application.

Ahmed also highlighted that he was told an NOC (No Objection Certificate) was not required under CRPF rules since he had already followed due process. His marriage was documented in the battalion’s official record book, and he claims his commanding officer and senior officials were informed upon his return from leave.

The case has stirred debate over inter-national marriages involving defense or paramilitary personnel, especially amid heightened Indo-Pak tensions.
