In what is seen by many as a "bizarre" misuse of manpower by senior IPS officer for deploying BSF jawans at a private function - a wedding of daughter, the Director General (DG) KK Sharma has come to defense of the senior officer. Deploying personnel for duties where the officer belonged to BSF, his own function was being organised."
