Similarly, the ITBP, in its tweet, said: “A newspaper published today a piece that DsG of CAPFs were not invited at the Republic Day Parade 2022. It is clarified that the DG ITBP was invited & attended the Parade. It was for the 1st time that the ‘Janbaz’ bikers of ITBP displayed a brave show at the parade.”

ITBP DG Sanjay Arora is holding the additional charge of the chief of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) Kumar Rajesh Chandra who retired on December 31, 2021.
