Once Army Chief Gen V K SIngh is out of Office, the legal battle against him has begun. In the complaint filed by Lt. Gen. Tejinder Singh, a  Delhi court has summoned Gen. V.K. Singh.
Metropolitan Magistrate Jay Thareja issued summons to V.K. Singh and four others in the defamation case for July 20.
“In the light of aforesaid discussion and the discussion in the order dated May 18, all the respondents are summoned as an accused in the present matter,” said the court.
Tejinder Singh, a former Director General of Defence Intelligence Agency, had filed the complaint rejecting the allegations that he had offered the bribe for clearing a deal for 600 “sub-standard” vehicles.
Tejinder Singh has requested the court to summon and initiate proceedings against the former army chief and others for allegedly making libellous statements against him in the media and accusing him of bribery.
Alleging that the officers misused their official position, power and authority to level false charges against him, Lt. Gen. Tejinder Singh also named Army Vice Chief Lt. Gen. S.K. Singh, Director General Military Intelligence Lt. Gen. B.S. Thakur, Additional Director General Public Information Major Gen. S.L. Narsimhan and Directorate General of Public Information Staff Officer Lt. Col. Hitten Sawhney.
