The Central Reserve Police Force officially revoked the administrative suspension of Deputy Inspector General B.C. Patra on Thursday, issuing formal posting orders that return the senior cadre officer to active duty following a comprehensive internal departmental inquiry. Patra had been placed under suspension earlier this summer over public digital comments examining welfare provisions in the pending Central Armed Police Forces service bill.
An internal review panel constituted by the Ministry of Home Affairs evaluated the officer’s written responses and service record, concluding that his analytical observations did not breach service conduct boundaries or compromise operational command hierarchy. The inquiry committee recommended immediate revocation of punitive proceedings while issuing general administrative guidance on institutional communication protocols for senior brass.
Cadre officers within the central paramilitary organizations welcomed the pragmatic resolution of the case, highlighting the need for transparent career progression and open channels for internal personnel feedback. Patra has been assigned to oversee administrative logistics at a central training establishment in central India as he resumes full operational responsibilities.
