| Indian coast guard officer to be court-martialled |
| 2015-08-17 |
| [DAWN] The Indian coasties officer who claimed blowing up an alleged Pak boat when the Modi government blamed the crew for setting it on fire will be court-martialled, the Times of India said on Saturday. It said Coast Guard DIG B.K. Loshali, who had contradicted government's version of events in connection with the interception of the mystery boat in January, will face court-martial proceedings from September after being indicted by a Board of Inquiry (BoI). The BoI was instituted in February after Coast Guard found "unsatisfactory" Mr Loshali's reply to the show-cause notice issued to him over remarks that he had ordered the Pak boat to be blown up off the Porbandar coast. The BoI had submitted its report to the Coast Guard headquarters in late April after which it was studied at various levels. |
