Disciplinary proceedings against Brigadier for not repaying debt

Published on: 

An Army court of inquiry has recommended disciplinary proceedings against a Brigadier for not returning money borrowed from his subordinates and misuse of official property while he was posted in Sikkim and later in the discipline and vigilance(DV) branch at Army Headquarters.

The disciplinary proceedings include possible court martial of Brigadier l I Singh, officials said here on Sunday adding the Court of Inquiry gave its recommendations this week end. 

It was asked to look into the allegations after the issue came to light last year when some junior officers and contractors from whom he had allegedly borrowed money complained to the army authorities.

Following the court of inquiry recommendations, the Brigadier was attached to the Binagudi-based 20 Mountain Division.  It is also alleged that he took away official property of Flag Staff House prior to relinquishing the appointment as the commander

of the Sikkim-based 164 Mountain Brigade.
