New Delhi:  A high-ranking officer of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has been dismissed from service after he was found guilty of sexual harassment.

A notice for dismissal has been issued against Deputy Inspector General Khajan Singh, PTI reported quoting sources.

The final orders will be issued after the accused officer responds within 15 days, sources were quoted as saying. Khajan Singh did not respond to PTI’s query on the matter.
