Controversy	Khajan Singh was dismissed from his position as the Deputy Inspector General of CRPF in May 2024. This action followed an extensive internal investigation where he was found guilty of numerous allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct involving female constables under his command. The investigation revealed serious breaches of conduct, including inappropriate behavior, intimidation, and misuse of authority. Despite Singh's earlier acquittal in a 2021 rape case due to the complainant retracting her allegations, the subsequent findings by the internal committee led to his dismissal by the Ministry of Home Affairs, based on recommendations from the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
