New Delhi, May 5 -- A day after being dismissed from service for "concealing" his marriage to a Pakistan national, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) constable Muneer Ahmed alleged on Sunday that he had followed due protocol by informing the department about his marriage at every step. Ahmed was dismissed on Saturday over his marriage with Menal Khan, a resident of Sialkot in Pakistan. The couple got married on May 24, 2024, through video conferencing. The constable, who was earlier posted in the sensitive J&K zone, was transferred to Bhopal last week, after reports of his wedding to Khan came to light. However, Ahmed said the termination is "unfair and wrong", further noting that he had informed the department before his wedding and had also submitted documents of the couple's nikah after the ceremony. He said he had first written to the CRPF seeking permission for marriage on December 31, 2022. "In 2023, I had given the relevant documents, including an affidavit from the courts," he said. Ahmed said the CRPF approved his request in a letter dated April 30, 2024, which HT has seen. "I received a reply from headquarters... their probe revealed the applicant had informed the department and that there is no need for an NOC," he said....
