Accountability in CAPF

Good question to follow up? Maybe the CAPF will now be ruled eternally by an IPS? CAPF may think that they are immune but they should remember one thing, one who is not accountable in civil matters can't be immune in civil matters. Please follow up this question.

Internal administration

Don't be surprised if BJP supporters start spreading a narrative that some internal administration is doing these to make Modiji lose elections.

DATE WITH RTI

Information concerning the death of an employee of a Second Schedule organisation

RTI Applications were filed seeking information in matter related to inquiry conducted relating to death of an officer (I.C. No.81948P Captain Abhishek Mishra) by the father of the said deceased officer in Border Roads Task Force (BRTF). The appellant apprehended foul play and alleged corruption charge in the matter of death of his son. The CIC observed that the information sought concerns the death of an employee while in service, which directly attracts the human rights exception and in this matter, the appellant is not a stranger but the father of the deceased.

Comments

The appellant had lost his young son who was an army officer and was making efforts in pursuit of justice for his deceased son. The CIC has consistently held that next of kin (NOK) are entitled to inquiry records relating to death of the deceased officer in an organisation, which otherwise is exempted under 2nd schedule of RTI Act and in the instant matter as well, the Commission would reiterate that even the organisations listed in the Second Schedule are bound to disclose such information.
