CRPF Issues Show-Cause Notices to Eight Officers Over Skipped Lunch

The CRPF is a big Indian force that keeps people safe, a bit like soldiers and police together.

Eight officers in this force were asked to have an official lunch with a senior boss, who is the head of their zone.

The lunch was planned while the officers were learning about technical things at a camp in Madhya Pradesh.

The officers said no to the lunch.

Their boss and the force were not happy about it.

The force sent them official letters asking why they did not come.

The force says that not coming to the lunch was like not listening to a senior, which is called insubordination.

The officers now have to write back their reasons, and the force will decide what happens next.

Nobody knows for sure why the officers did not go to the lunch.

Some other officers from similar forces have also asked the country's top court to look at a new law they say gives too much power to IPS officers.
