Commanding officer of Army Intelligence unit under scanner

The commanding officer of an Army Intelligence unit and a Captain-rank woman officer are under the scanner after a purported sting operation suggested that they were allegedly involved in extra-judicial killings and a dacoity case in Nagaland and Assam respectively.
In the sting operation of jawans of the 3 Corps Intelligence Unit, a person, claimed to be an Army Havaldar, is heard saying that the unit Commanding Officer, a woman Captain and a few jawans were involved in the killing of three persons inside the headquarters area.
It is alleged that a Major-rank officer of 21 Para Special Forces of the Army, was the main person behind the killing of the three persons, whose bodies were reportedly thrown inside the jungle.

In the report, it is also alleged that the unit officers had held up the wife of a commander of a terrorist group and sought a "levy" of Rs one crore in Dimapur in Nagaland.
In the particular incident over the alleged extra- judicial killings, the army had stated that a one-man inquiry team instituted by it in the case had given a clean chit to the officers facing the charges.
The same officers were also charged with being part of a dacoity case in Jorhat in Assam and the Gauhati High Court is still monitoring the case. The Army investigation processes have also not been completed in the last two years.

The case had taken interesting dimensions in 2012 when the then Army Chief Gen V K Singh had put present Vice Chief of Army Lt Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag under the promotion ban for mishandling of the dacoity case.
