February 24, 2015 18:17

Coast Guard officer BK Loshali who had contradicted the government's stand on the explosion of a Pakistani boat on New Year's Eve, has been summarily sacked as Chief of Staff at Northwest region. What awaits him now is a Board of Inquiry in Gujarat.

Loshalis version contradicted the claims by the defence minister, ministry and the Coast Guard made immediately after the incident when they had maintained that when the boat was chased by Coast Guard ships four men on board had set it ablaze.

Loshali then made a U-turn, claiming he was misquoted by the media. However, the Indian Express uploaded the video of Loshali in which he says that he ordered on December 31 night to blow up that boat.

Let me tell you. I hope you remember December 31 night... We blew off that Pakistan... We have blown them off. I was there at Gandhinagar and I told at night, blow the boat off. We dont want to serve them biryani, he had said in Surat.
