New Delhi, Jun 8 (PTI) The Army today ordered a Court of Inquiry (CoI) into charges of sexual misconduct levelled against its Engineer-in-Chief Lt Gen A K Nanda by the wife of a subordinate officer.
"A Court of Inquiry has been ordered to investigate the charges levelled against Lt Gen Nanda by the wife of a Colonel," a senior officer in the Army headquarters said here.
The CoI will be headed by a Lt General senior to Nanda.
Nanda would continue to remain in the post of Engineer-in-Chief during the course of the CoI, the officer said.
The wife of a Colonel, who worked as Technical Secretary to Nanda, has accused the Lt General of molesting her during an official visit to Israel last month.
Nanda had headed an eight-member delegation of army officials from his department and some of them were accompanied by their spouses.
