Delhi HC Addresses Misuse of CAPF Personnel
Imagine soldiers are asked to do chores for officers instead of their real jobs.
A BSF officer, Sanjay Yadav, complained to the Delhi High Court about this.
He says soldiers are even made to care for officers' dogs.
The court wants to know more from the government (MHA) and BSF.
Yadav says this takes away from important security tasks and wastes money.
There are also many open positions in the forces.
A rule from 2016 said retired officers shouldn't get special helpers, but it seems to be ignored.
The court wants answers.
