Role of Rapid Action Force of CRPF
According to an earlier report, CRPF Headquarters had sent a message to all its field units appreciating the patience and restraint shown by the soldiers during the recent deployments. However, CRPF also clarified that if there is any deliberate negligence or violation of law at any level, then disciplinary action will be taken as per rules. The role of CRPF’s Rapid Action Force (RAF) is also in discussion in this entire matter. Questions have been raised over the actions of the RAF to control the crowd at Jantar Mantar and other areas of Delhi during the Parliament march called by the Cockroach Janata Party on July 20. RAF is a special unit of CRPF, which was formed in the year 1992 to deal with situations like riots and public unrest.
