Ex-CAPF officials demand withdrawal of transfers, suspension of officers whose families protested CAPF Act
Retired CAPF officials are protesting the transfer and suspension of officers who opposed the new CAPF Act of 2026. They argue the legislation unfairly favors IPS officers and that the disciplinary actions against families are acts of vendetta.
Why it matters
Internal disputes within paramilitary forces regarding promotion structures and political influence can impact national security and institutional morale.
Days after 20 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) officers were transferred and a Deputy Inspector-General (DIG) rank officer was suspended, allegedly for voicing their opinion against the new Central Armed Police Force (General Administration) Act , 2026, retired CAPF officials demanded that the orders be revoked. The retired officials also claimed that they were being followed and that unidentified people were filming their homes.
The article focuses heavily on the grievances of the retired officials and their claims of 'vendetta,' giving less space to the government's justification for the Act.
