Indian Navy : Foreign Ships: Indigenous Conflicts

Indian navy which relied upon by countryman as protector of coastal regions & maritime interests is turning to be a buyer of conflicts due to low moral acts, corruption charges, repeated accidents by its officers & men in recent past. Various cases were registered against naval personnel at Mumbai, Kochi, Vishakhapatnam & Karwar.

Last quarter of year 2014 has brought bad name for the organisation when corruption charges against naval officers leveled by none other than their men. Situation turned murkier when a sailor Sunil kumar Sahoo, SWA 3 posted at INS Kattaboman a shore establishment under Eastern naval Command near Chennai alleged corruption charges against his commanding officer and other senior naval officer and subsequently followed charges himself of being mental instability and insanity. These charges were lead to internal rift inside organisation when his wife filed a case in Honorable High Court of Kerla and first in history sailors started a supportive campaign for him on social platform, a Facebook page “ Save The Crusader Sailor“ was created to support the cause with the initiative taken by veteran sailors of force. This raise a question what leads veteran to take part in such a cause? Does navy has a black pages in history ? Many questions needs answer.

At a later stage Sunil Sahoo wife won the case against navy and navy was forced to change it’s policy on psychiatric cases as per court directives. In the month of June, Indian Navy again jolted with fresh allegation and this time sword arm of Indian navy Western Fleet & Western Naval Command are in troubled waters ,when a sailor Shivam Tiwari SEA I, a professional in navigation & direction and radar plotting raised allegation of mistreatment and harassment by the hand of senior naval officer of INS Shikra; prime air support & operational unit of Western Fleet situated right before sasoon dock  after crossing busy colaba market. Nobody can ever dream of such atrocities can take place in the middle of the city but this time voice found their way to come out of Iron curtain with the Help of ‘Veteran sailor welfare association” a regd.  Organisation which came in realisation after Sunil Sahoo.

Moreover, one more case of Gaurav Sirohi is in news. He has raised his voice against corruption like Sahu did in Kattabooman. 

More Story on Gaurav Sirohi will be on my next post...
