Army probing charges against Lt. Gen.
The Army on Thursday said it had initiated a preliminary inquiry into allegations of misconduct by a Lieutenant General with an officer's wife while on an official tour of Israel last month.
Referring to reports on charges against Engineer-in-Chief Lt. Gen. A.K. Nanda, the Army said: “There are some allegations. Preliminary investigations show that there are a number of loopholes in the account of allegations. Further investigations are in progress.”
The Army clarified that Lt. Gen. Nanda had neither resigned nor had he been asked to put in his papers. “He is holding the appointment of the Engineer-in-Chief.” According to reports, the wife of a Colonel, who was working as the Technical Officer, made the complaint. However, Lt. Gen. Nanda's wife Neerja Nanda, dismissed the charges while talking to television channels, and emphatically said there had been no such incident.
She stood by her husband and said she was with him during the trip.
Ms. Nanda said the Army should inquire into the incident and establish the truth.
