CRPF Forms Core Group to Address Record Suicides Among Personnel
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has formed a 10-member core group led by its Director General to review and prevent suicides among personnel, following a record 59 deaths in 2025—the highest in five years. The group will meet monthly to analyze cases, identify risk factors, and recommend welfare and preventive measures. Over 77% of suicides occurred while personnel were on duty, with constabulary members comprising over 80% of cases. The National Human Rights Commission has sought detailed reports from the CRPF and the Ministry of Home Affairs.
