He said he had married his wife, Menal Khan, who is also related to him, on 24 May 2024. Initially, he claimed that in 2023, the CRPF had rejected his letter, which informed about the marriage; however, in 2024, after his letter was sent through multiple officials of CRPF and ultimately to headquarters in New Delhi, he received confirmation that CRPF had acknowledged the marriage.

"I was already working in CRPF before marriage, and to get permission for the marriage and inform the headquarters, I had written a letter on 31 December 2022. They objected to certain things and returned the letter on 24 January 2023. In that letter, the marriage's card and all information were there. I had given it all to the 72 CRPF battalion in Sunderbani," the former CRPF constable told agencies at his residence in Jammu.
