A CRPF constable, Pinak Nath, was dismissed after he posted a video on Facebook threatening to kill his commander and then himself.
The incident happened in Doda, Jammu and Kashmir, and led to swift action by the force.
Pinak Nath terminated under 1965 rules
Once the threats surfaced, the CRPF launched an inquiry and found Nath's post echoed recent violence seen elsewhere.
He was let go on Friday under rules for temporary staff.
The battalion's Commanding Officer conducted an inquiry and Nath was terminated under the Central Civil Services (Temporary Service) Rules, 1965.
