Indian court stays major’s sentence for fake battles 12-01-2005

NEW DELHI: An Indian court on Tuesday stayed a military dismissal and jail sentence handed to a major for staging battles to win medals during fighting with Pakistan for control of Kashmir’s Siachen glacier.

Major Surinder Singh of the elite Gorkha Regiment was found guilty by a military court last month and sentenced to three years of rigorous imprisonment - including hard labour — besides being dismissed from service.

The highly-decorated Singh was charged with faking two battles in 2003 and accusing his commander, Colonel KD Singh, of ordering him to stage the fantasy fights on the rugged Siachen glacier in divided Kashmir. The sacked major had stuck to his guns after sentencing, saying he had been framed by his superiors.

The scandal surfaced in May when Singh himself claimed that he and other regimental officers were forced by their commanding colonel to stage the battles at Siachen, one of the world’s most inhospitable theatres of war.

Is this the new face of India’s brave Hindu soldiers?
