Senior Indian Police Service officer Archana Ramasundram was today appointed Director General of Sashastra Seema Bal, the first woman to head a paramilitary force.
Ramasundram, who was the Director of National Crime Records Bureau in her previous posting, is the first woman chief in over six-decade-long combined history of the five paramilitary forces.
The Supreme Court on Friday restrained senior Indian Police Service officer Archana Ramasundaram from discharging her duty as the additional director in the Central Bureau of Investigation, saying that her appointment "prima facie" seems to be illegal and against the statute.
