CRPF Director General Gyanendra Pratap Singh has assured personnel of the country's largest paramilitary force that they should carry out their duties "fearlessly", saying he would assume "responsibility and accountability" for decisions taken in the bona fide discharge of duty.
The remarks came during the CRPF's Grand Investiture Ceremony, days after the force's Rapid Action Force (RAF) faced criticism over its use of pellet guns while dispersing protesters in Delhi during demonstrations over alleged examination paper leaks.
