5. National Security Guard Or Black Cats – Lead By ‘Director General’ From The Indian Police Service
They fall neither under Central Armed Police Forces nor under Paramilitary Forces of India. It’s instead a mix of commandos from both the Indian Army and Central Armed Police Forces which is lead by a ‘Director General’ from the Indian Police Service.
It comprises of two units. One is the Special Action Group (SAG), which consists entirely of Indian Army personnel; and the other one is Special Ranger Groups (SRG) for counter terrorism activities.
