NEW DELHI: Investigations into sexual harassment allegations levelled against a senior Army general by a colonel's wife have taken a sensational new twist. A court of inquiry (COI) into the allegations against Army's engineer-in- chief Lt-Gen A K Nanda has exonerated him, while recommending disciplinary action against Colonel C P S Pasricha, who accused the general of sexually harassing his wife. According to sources, the COI headed by Lt-Gen A S Lamba, chief of the Shimla-based Army Training Command, submitted its report over a week ago. The inquiry panel, which included a senior Army woman doctor, found that allegations against Nanda were unsubstantiated and inconsistent. More importantly, the COI found that Pasricha and his wife had made a similar allegation against another Army officer in the past. The report is presently being scrutinized by Army authorities in Western Command. Sources said once the Army chief approves the COI report, action will be taken.
