Promotion recommended for Lt Gen under CBI scanner

March 29, 2012 17:08

Ironically, as the CBI looks into Army Chief General V K Singh's letter seeking probe into the allegations of corruption against Lt Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag, Defence Minister A K Antony disclosed today that the official has been
recommended for promotion as a Commander of a sector.

However, the Minister said he was not aware of the Army Chief referring a complaint of corruption levelled against the Lt Gen by a Trinamool Congress to CBI. "The Army headquarters sent a proposal to send him as Army Commander in one sector.

"I think the proposal is of March 22 to make him Army Commander. The Defence Secretary cleared it and when I checked up today in my office, it is pending. So, this is my information. The other thing (CBI inquiry) I don't know," he said.
