New Delhi: The Central Reserve Police Force is looking into the “authenticity” of a video, posted by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Twitter, in which some troops allege that they are being made to move for operational duties in a non-bulletproof vehicle.
The jawans further allege that their commanding officer travels in a bulletproof vehicle but their lives were being compromised. They also accused the authorities of playing with their families’ lives.
The video forced CRPF to issue a statement with spokesperson Deputy Inspector General Moses Dhinakaran saying, “CRPF has adequate protective vehicles to meet varied operational requirements.”
He further said that the authenticity of the video is being probed into by CRPF.
Sharing the video clip on his Twitter, Rahul Gandhi took a dig at Narendra Modi saying, “While jawans are travelling in non-bullet proof trucks an aircraft worth ₹ 8,400 crore is being arranged for the Prime Minister. Is this justice?”
CRPF is India’s leading internal security force which is deployed extensively for conducting anti-Naxal operations in various states and counter-terrorist operations in the Kashmir valley.(Times Now)
