New Delhi: In March last year, due to the accidental firing of the BrahMos missile at Pakistan, India lost 24 crores (82 crore Pakistani rupees).
According to Indian media reports, the Indian government has submitted a response to the dismissal petition filed by Wing Commander Abhinav Sharma in the Delhi High Court, justifying the dismissal of three Indian Air Force (IAF) officers, including the wing commander.
The government said that due to the gross negligence of these officers, the government had to bear a loss of Rs 24 crore.
The government further said that due to this error, the security of the state has been adversely affected in a wide scale. Further, keeping in view the sensitive nature of the matter, a conscious and thoughtful decision has been taken to terminate the service of the applicant.
The government also said that such a decision has been taken in the Indian Air Force after 23 years as the facts and circumstances of the case demanded such drastic action.
