A high-level committee tasked to look into the proposed winding up of a controversial unit set up by Gen V K Singh is in ‘final stages’ of completing its inquiry and is expected to submit its report to the Army HQ soon.
The Committee formed under Director General Military Operations Lt Gen Vinod Bhatia was formed after allegations of snooping were levelled against the unit, Technical Support Division.
‘The investigations are in its final stages and it is expected to submit its report to the Army headquarters very soon,’ senior-level Army sources said.
The TSD was formed during the tenure of Gen Singh and its existence came to light in March this year when it was alleged that the unit had tapped the phones of Defence Ministry officials at the height of the controversy over the Army Chief’s date of birth.
