Indian Army’s shady arms deal

Although high-ranking officers of the Indian Army like Chief of Army Staff, Gen V K Singh, Lt Gen Surendra Kumar Sahni, Lt Gen S K Dahiya, Maj Gen Anand Swaroop, Maj-Gen SP Sinha, Maj Gen Anand Kapoor, Maj Gen Gur Iqbal Singh Multani, Brig Guredeep Singh including a number of low-ranking officials were found involved in corruption of various forms such as irregularities in procuring meat and dry rations for the troops, stationed at Siachen, unauthorised construction of a golf club building at Ambala cantonment, possessing disproportionate assets, smuggling of large quantities of defence liquor etc., yet involvement of the 27 officers of the Indian Army in illegally selling of arms and weapons is most surprising. In this regard, on July 7 this year, even Indian media disclosed this new mal-practice of Indian Army officials. Army sources of India admitted that the officers, mostly lieutenant colonels and colonels, had faced a court of inquiry following a public suit filed in the Rajasthan High Court by an advocate who said that the officers were selling their private weapons to people of dubious character.

nothing will happen to most..only 2 - 3 oficer without connections will get punish..supreme court being fooled by army..these officer displaying profit making sense now by iilegal smugle of arms into country...when they become general what will they do? general vk singh....check them now...baniyas and corrupt oficer taking over army...

Why has the army been partial in just punishing select officers such as Gen Sahni? What about Lt. Gen. SK Dahiya who left troops to die in the cold mountains of Kashmir by sending bad quality meat? Has the army court asked how he amassed properties of Rs. 100 crore in Delhi and Gurgaon and swiss bank accounts in the name of his son?
