New Delhi: Coast Guard DIG B.K. Loshali, who had contradicted the government’s version of events in connection with the interception of a Pakistani boat in January, will face court martial proceedings from September after being indicted by a Board of Inquiry.
The BoI was instituted in February after Coast Guard found “unsatisfactory” Loshali's reply to the showcause notice issued to him over remarks that he had ordered the Pakistani boat to be blown up off the Porbandar coast.
The Board had submitted its report to the Coast Guard headquarters in late April after which it was studied at various levels. “The BOI had called for strict action. The General Court Martial Proceedings against DIG B.K. Loshali will start in September,” a defence source said. Sources said unedited video showed that Mr Loshali claimed to have ordered the boat to be blown up.
