Navy officer dismissed for sending lewd messages to women

April 15, 2013 21:16

After the wife-swapping allegations, the Navy has been hit by another embarrassment as one of its Commanders has been found guilty of sending lewd messages to several women and subsequently dismissed.

The issue of dismissal of the officer deployed on the country's only aircraft carrier INS Virat comes soon after Defence Minister A K Antony dismissed another officer who was found guilty of having illicit relations with his superior's wife.

The name of the officer in the rank of Commander (equal to lieutenant colonel in Army) was recommended for dismissal by a court martial in January this year. He was later dismissed from service, Navy spokesperson Commander P V Satish said.

He said the officer was dismissed on the charges of 'unbecoming of an officer' as he was using multiple numbers to send lewd messages to several women both in and out of the force.
