Though the jawan managed to escape, police traced him, thanks to the abrasions on his face.
CRPF, however, hesitated to take action against the jawan. Finally, a complaint from the girl's family to the Avadi all-women police station, under provisions of the Pocso Act, resulted in the jawan being remanded in judicial custody. A team of police personnel from the police station informed senior CRPF officials.
Police said the girl was returning home a few days ago when she was targeted from behind by a stranger on a dark stretch.
He tried to sexually assault the girl. Though shocked and frightened, the girl took after the fleeing suspect, and landed a few blows and scratches, leaving visible injuries on his face. She couldn't identify him since it was dark.
After the girl told her parents about the incident, the parents lodged a complaint. The girl also told them that she had injured him on the face. Police, with the help of the identification provided, tracked down and identified the jawan. He was later arrested and remanded in judicial custody.

‘Serious misconduct': CRPF justifies sacking of constable Munir Ahmed
Justifying sacking of a constable Munir Ahmed from services before the Jammu & Kashmir high court, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) accused Ahmed of serious misconduct by secretly marrying Menal Khan, forging her signature on Nikahnama and hiding her expired visa status. Menal had entered India on a tourist visa in February 2025. The case came to light after India ordered repatriation of all Pakistani citizens back to their native country. The punitive action was taken following Pahalgam attack on April 22 that left 26 people dead and scores injured. (File) Ahmed was terminated from services after he allegedly concealed his marriage with his Pakistani cousin Menal Khan. Ahmed had moved the J&K HC for restoration of his services. In the objections filed before the HC through deputy Solicitor General of India Vishal Sharma, the CRPF claimed that Munir failed to inform his superiors about the marriage or her visa application for Long Term Visa (LTV). The case came to light after India ordered repatriation of all Pakistani citizens back to their native country. The punitive action was taken following Pahalgam attack on April 22 that left 26 people dead and scores injured. In the objections filed, the CRPF also argued that Menal was in Pakistan on the date shown on the Nikahnama and claimed that her signatures were forged. 'It is submitted that though his NOC for marriage was pending, it was revealed through newspapers and media reports that the petitioner's (Munir Ahmed) wife Menal Khan of Sialkot, Pakistan came to India through Wagah border on 15 days tourist visa and had been residing with petitioner as husband-wife,' submitted the CRPF in its objections. Menal, who entered India on a short term visa, which expired on March 22, continued to stay in India illegally, the CRPF further wrote in objections. It is also clear that Munir Ahmed actively supported her stay at his own residence in the border state of J&K. He further provided shelter and harboured a Pakistani national while being aware of status of her visa, it added. 'The petitioner contracted marriage/Nikah with Menal Khan, a Pakistani national on May 24, 2024, but informed the department on October 14, 2024, whereas as Rule 21(3) of CCS (Conduct) Rules 1964 (Annexure R-XIX), clearly stipulates that 'a government servant who has married or marries a person other than of Indian nationality shall forthwith intimate the fact to the government', CRPF submitted before the but the high court. It stated that the revelation was made was when he was asked by the commanding officer of 72 battalion. Soon after Pahalgam attack the government of India cancelled visas of all Pakistani nationals and accordingly Menal Khan was also taken for deportation. 'The petitioner proceeded on leave on April 27, 2025 and did not inform his Unit about the fact of his harbouring and sheltering a Pakistani national at his residence. He was aware of the status of the expiry of the visa of Menal Khan and her deportation and he did not inform the department even during his leave. In fact, the Department came to know of the same from media reports,' submitted the CRPF. The high court will hear the case on Friday.

To justify dismissal of constable who married Pakistan national, CRPF cites national security: ‘Our security will get compromised…'
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has justified the dismissal from service of constable Munir Ahmed, saying that he married a Pakistani woman despite apprehensions from seniors that it may raise a national security issue and before any decision was made on his applications seeking permission for the marriage. The CRPF opposed Munir's writ petition in the High Court of J&K and Ladakh, challenging his dismissal from service. While the DIG (Adm) had clarified that under the CCS (Conduct) Rules 1964, there is no requirement for an NOC and that a government servant marrying a person who is not of Indian nationality has to just inform the government, the CRPF said that in this case, since the woman is a Pakistani national, it opposed the marriage. In a letter dated July 23, 2024, the Jammu Sector CRPF had resubmitted Munir's file to the J&K Zone CRPF, asking the latter not to grant an NOC to him for the marriage. In the letter, the Jammu Sector CRPF said, 'CCS Conduct Rule 1964 was framed 60 years ago, and at that time, Pakistan was not a hostile country'. 'However, after the eruption of militancy in J&K, the neighbouring country has become a hostile nation and is abetting terrorism in J&K, which has claimed thousands of innocent lives, as well as of police personnel, political activists and paramilitary forces,' it said. 'Besides terrorism, Pakistan has also indulged in various means and efforts to gather intelligence of our strategic locations, campuses, deployment, and our weaponry, and keeps our forces (engaged) in proxy war,' it wrote, adding that the petitioner was employed in the executive staff in the CRPF and had access to confidential information. 'Therefore, there is apprehension that once he gets married to a Pakistani girl, our security will get compromised and… (this) could endanger our national security,' it said. It also claimed that there had been 'some instances of women working as spies to lure such boys into marriage, even though in this case, he states she is a relative'. In a subsequent response to further questions from the J&K Zone CRPF, it was told that Ahmed solemnised nikah with Pakistani national Menal Khan on May 24, 2024, through video conferencing and that he had requested an NOC for the same. It said that it came to know through a newspaper on February 28, 2025, that Menal Khan had entered India through the Wagha Border on a 15-day tourist visa and was residing with the petitioner at his residence. The CRPF on May 3 this year dismissed Ahmed, a resident of Jammu district's Bhalwal tehsil, from service without a formal inquiry, saying that his actions were found to be detrimental to 'national security'. The dismissal came in the aftermath of the attack in Pahalgam, where 26 people were shot dead by terrorists from Pakistan. Ahmed had denied the allegations, claiming he had informed the CRPF Directorate last year of his marriage with Menal Khan and that the latter had acknowledged it in a communication. He also claimed that he had first told the DG of the wedding on December 31, 2022 and had sought an NOC from the organisation. But he had also admitted that his wife's short-term visa had ended earlier this year and the couple was trying to get a long-term one. Meanwhile, with her short-term visa now ended, Minal had been issued a 'Leave India' notice in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack and was taken to Attari, but the deportation was stalled after Ahmed moved the High Court.
