Show cause notice on Coast Guard DIG for biryani statement

February 18, 2015 18:39

Just in: A show cause notice has been served to Deputy Inspector General of the Coast Guard BK Loshali. According to an Indian Express report, Loshali said Monday that it was the Coast Guard which blew up the Pakistani boat on the night of December 31, 2014. And that he was the one who ordered: "Blow the boat off. We don't want to serve them biryani''

The government was left red-faced on Wednesday after Loshali negated its claim that the crew on an intruding Pakistani boat had set it ablaze but Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar stood his ground and hinted at disciplinary action against him.
