NEW DELHI: Former BSF director general EN Rammohan, who had served in Meghalaya, passed away early on Sunday morning. He was 77.
Rammohan, the 1965-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer of the Assam-Meghalaya cadre, was admitted in AIIMS for about 10 days after he met with an accident at home and suffered fractured ribs. Rammohan was also suffering from prostrate cancer.
His last rites were performed at the Lodhi Road crematorium by his family members.
Chief Minister Conrad Sangma paid his tributes to the police officer in a tweet saying: “Saddened by the demise of EN Rammohan, former Director General of Border Security Force. Rammohan, an IPS officer of the Assam-Meghalaya cadre, had served to the best of his ability, be it in Meghalaya, Assam and our nation as a whole. May his soul rest in peace.”
Rammohan headed the BSF between December 1997-November 2000 and he earlier served in the force as its inspector general (Operations) at the force headquarters in Delhi.
Rammohan, who sported a handlebar mustache, was regularly seen on television news channels discussing internal security issues and was considered an expert in counter-insurgency operations given his wide exposure in the north east states and various central paramilitary forces. (PTI)
