A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel Pankaj Misra, who left the force after ranting against Home Minister Rajnath Singh in a Facebook video following the recent Sukma Naxal attack, surrendered before the CRPF Additional Director Deneral (ADGP) in Delhi on Saturday.
According to reports, he was asked by the Delhi High Court to surrender before Director General (DG) following his petition that he was assaulted by his superiors after the release of the video. He will meet the DG on Monday.
Misra had earlier claimed to have lost a relative in the Sukma attack and vented his frustration against the Home Minister.
Mishra is posted with the CRPF's 221 Battalion in Durgapur, West Bengal.
He wrote, “They should not forget that these CRPF jawans provide security to leaders like Amit Shah. We voted for Modiji and not BJP, and leaders like Rajnath Singh are misleading the PM," he said, requesting the Home Minister to meet the slain soldiers’ family members.”
He requested the media to understand the pain of the CRPF jawans. “Ask jawans what are their problems, and not the ‘defence specialists’ who question the training programmes of the paramilitary forces,” he added.
