IAF officer sacked over affair with colleague's wife

[Spring Onion]

NEW DELHI: An IAF officer has been dismissed from service after he was indicted by a court of inquiry for allegedly having an affair with the wife of a fellow squadron leader.

The woman, who herself was a squadron leader, had allegedly committed suicide in her government accommodation last year in November in Jodhpur apparently after some argument with her husband.

"The flight lieutenant has been dismissed from service," defence ministry PRO in Jodhpur Colonel S D Goswami confirmed over phone.
The officer, Ishant Sharma, was found guilty by the CoI instituted to look into the alleged case of suicide by the lady married to her batchmate, squadron leader V Nair, who is a Su-30MKI pilot in Jodhpur.

Sharma was not available for comment.

In the armed forces, having an affair with a colleague's wife is considered to be a serious punishable offence and is termed as 'stealing of brother officer's wife's affection'.

After the CoI was completed, IAF's South Western Air command had forwarded its recommendations to the defence ministry and it gave its approval for the action recommended by the force, sources said.

The Flight Lieutenant is learnt to be a pilot in the Su-30MKI squadron based in the desert city and had come in contact with the lady officer during informal get-togethers.

Anandita Das, the lady Squadron Leader, hailing from Kolkata, was found hanging from the ceiling fan at about 0300 hours by her fighter-pilot husband on November 28.

According to IAF sources, the couple had some arguments before they retired on the fateful night. Anandita was commissioned into the service in 2006 and got married to Nair in 2008.

Atleast they are not selling my country .

You would be surprised government officers/politicians are total sellout.
A Fancy dinner or an american visa is all that needed for them and they will give you anything- An American diplomat

 

[genmirajborgza786]

this is their personal matter & it is none of anybody's business, I just don't understand the logic behind of how can an issue of infidelity between couples be related to defense discussions, I mean come on its their life. what business do we have in it ? & how on God's green earth can this be related to defense or even Indo-Pak politics is beyond me, the concept of having multiple partners is an private matter, hey people sleep around
get over it

IAF is standard of romantic and affairs lovers involved including illegally relationship outside their marriage, they failed to focus on Pakistan due to this.

Cool it guys, a few isolated cases in one of the world's largest militaries mean zilch in respect to kissing the morality of the entire armed forces.


Idiots can be found in every walk of life. It will be almost impossible to ever stamp out these sort if incidents as it comes down to individuals and their morality and urges not their training or anything else. The only thing you can do is respond and punish and gladly that is happening in this case and the wrongdoer has lost his career.
