Khajan Singh, the CRPF's former chief sports officer, is a recipient of the prestigious Arjuna Award in sports. A swimmer, he represented India at 1986 Asiad in Seoul, South Korea, and won his country its first Asian Games silver medal in swimming since the 1951 Games in Delhi.

According to PTI, the notice to dismiss Singh, who is currently posted in Mumbai, was served recently, after a CRPF probe found him “guilty” of the sexual harassment charges.

The CRPF headquarters, accepted the internal committee's report, and forwarded it to the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), which further sent the report to the Union Home Ministry, recommending action against the DIG.
