Five personnel of the Indian Army including a Brigadier have been charge sheeted by Jammu and Kashmir Police for allegedly replacing kerosene and diesel in tankers meant for troops in Siachen with water.

Jawans deployed in Leh, Kargil and Siachen are dependent on Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) for bulk of oil supplies. Supplies of petrol, diesel and kerosene are made in IOC tankers which reach Leh from depots at Ambala, along two routes, one through Himachal Pradesh and the other through the Kashmir Valley.

According to Jammu and Kashmir police, they have enough documentary evidence to suggest the involvement of the accused Indian army officials besides the confessional statement, recorded before a magistrate, of some of the drivers.

It is high time PM Manmohan Singh says something. Is it a vendetta of the Jammu and Kashmir government against Indian Army personnel?

Is it a genuine case where some Army personnel engaged in corruption? ,P> It is time for Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to get involved.
