NEW DELHI: The Coast Guard on Friday has released a video footage of the Pakistani "terror boat" incident that took place on December 31. After releasing the footage, the Coast Guard said it didn't blow up the boat as claimed by a DIG of the force BK Loshali.
Loshali, the chief of staff (northwest region, Coast Guard), on Thursday submitted his reply to the show-cause notice slapped on him by the Coast Guard to explain his "serious misconduct" during a function to launch an interceptor boat at Surat on Monday.
A board of inquiry, set up by the Coast Guard to probe the matter, did not find Loshali's reply as satisfactory.

Earlier, a red-faced government was forced to launch a damage-control exercise on Wednesday after a video surfaced showing Loshali bragging that he had ordered Coast Guard patrol vessel ICGS Rajratan to "blow off" the suspicious Pakistani fishing boat on the intervening night of December 31-January 1.
This contradicted the sequence of events given out by the defence ministry and Coast Guard soon after the incident.

Defence minister Manohar Parrikar on Wednesday said the DIG's statement could not change the "ground reality", stressing that his ministry firmly stood by its earlier stand that the "rogue" boat had been set ablaze by the four "suspected terrorists" on it after being intercepted by ICGS Rajratan.
