VK Singh asks CBI to probe Lt Gen Dalbir Singh

Raising yet another controversy, Army Chief General VK Singh has now sent a letter written by Trinamool MP Ambika Banerjee to the CBI to probe against Lt General Dalbir Singh Suhag, who is second in line to be the Army chief. According to a popular national daily, the Army Chief forwarded the MP's letter that has alleged widespread “procurement scams” in the “secretive” Special Frontier Force, when Lt Gen Dalbir Singh was its Inspector General. The MP alleged payoffs for the purchase of night-vision devices, communication systems, weapons as well as parachutes.
