Three Indian major generals, six brigadiers found involved in arms sale

The list has been compiled by the Intelligence Branch at Headquarters, South-Western Command. The weapons include ‘non-service pattern (NSP)’ pistols, revolvers, shotguns and rifles of different calibres. A number of serving and retired army personnel who sold their NSP weapons apparently did not take prior permission from the authorities concerned as was required. The Indian Army has now initiated a trial by court martial of close to 30 officers, of the rank of colonel and below, that were held blameworthy during investigations into the matter. The first of such trials began at Bikaner on Monday. The Indian Army had initiated investigations into the matter in 2007 following a PIL in the Rajasthan High Court alleging that NSP weapons were being sold to ‘dubious persons’ in the region. A court of inquiry (COI), presided over by Maj Gen BS Daulta, then General Officer Commanding 16 Infantry Division, had carried out investigations. Investigations were also conducted by the Indian Military Intelligence, which had complied a list containing 113 entries of weapons and their allottees, the Director General Ordnance Services at Army Headquarters, could identify only 35 names of the allottees and 44 registration numbers of weapons.
