NEW DELHI: Indian Coast Guard DIG B K Loshali, who had contradicted 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 move comes after a board of inquiry indicted Loshali on May 3 after he contradicted the Indian government’s version of events that all four crew members of the boat had been killed after they
blew it up themselves, following a high speed chase to avoid arrest,
The Times of India reported on Saturday. 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 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.
