NEW DELHI, Nov 14: A CRPF constable from Assam was dismissed from service after he allegedly threatened on social media to kill his company commander and take his own life, officials said.

The constable was identified as Pinak Nath, a probationary constable with Alpha Company of the CRPF's 33rd Battalion. He was posted with the battalion in Doda, Jammu and Kashmir, and had recently joined the force, officials said.

Nath allegedly made the threat in a post on a social media platform, referring to a recent incident in another security force in which a personnel used his service weapon to kill a senior officer and several colleagues.

The battalion's commanding officer ordered an inquiry after the post came to light. Following the inquiry, Nath was dismissed on Friday under the Central Civil Services (Temporary Service) Rules, 1965, officials said.
