As per the MHA notification, which one among the following is not a CAPF?
Explanation
According to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) notification issued in 2011, seven security forces are officially designated as Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF). These are:
- Assam Rifles (AR)
- Border Security Force (BSF)
- Central Industrial Security Force (CISF)
- Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF)
- Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP)
- National Security Guard (NSG)
- Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB)
The Special Protection Group (SPG) is an elite security agency established under the Special Protection Group Act, 1988, specifically to provide security to the Prime Minister of India. While it is an armed force of the Union under the administrative framework of the MHA, it is not classified as a CAPF. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
