Opposition members on Monday (March 16, 2026) questioned the government’s intention to introduce a Bill in the ongoing session of the Parliament to codify the deputation of Indian Police Service (IPS) officers in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), despite a Supreme Court ruling to progressively reduce IPS deputation up to the rank of Inspector General in the CAPF and grant them organised group stature.
In this backdrop, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday met Ajay Malik, Assistant Commandant of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), who lost a leg in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast during an anti-Maoist operation in Jharkhand on March 1. Mr. Malik who was airlifted to the AIIMS, Delhi had to undergo amputation and is presently recuperating at the CRPF’s camp hospital in Delhi. He joined the CRPF in 2011 as an AC and 15 years on, remains at the same post.
