New Delhi: The Navy has been hit by yet another alleged sex scandal as the wife of a senior officer has accused her husband of “forcing her” into sexual relationships with other naval officers and also forcing her to consume alcohol, defence sources have confirmed.
Defence minister A.K. Antony has ordered a probe into the incident. The woman who got married to the naval officer in February last year has also accused her husband of physical and mental torture.
The woman alleged that her husband who she says is a Lieutenant Commander had threatened that if she disclosed about his deeds to anyone, “he would put up my nude pictures on internet to spoil my image socially”.
Defence sources said that the lady has submitted a written complaint to the defence ministry. The concerned officer was reportedly expecting a posting to Russia shortly as part of the Admiral Gorshkov aircraft carrier-refitting project. The Navy has been embarrassed by these allegations which came on a day when the Naval Commanders’ Conference began in the Capital.
“The Defence Minister was very helpful and has told us that he has ordered a departmental inquiry into the charges made by me and my parents against my husband,” the woman complainant said here after meeting Antony. The officer could not be reached for his comments.
Several cases of sexual misconduct have come up against Navy officers recently including one where the wife of another Lt Cdr in Kochi filed an FIR against her husband and colleagues alleging that she was being forced into wife swapping by her husband.
A couple of officers were dismissed recently for sending lewd messages to several women using multiple sim cards and mobile numbers and having illicit affairs with the wife of a brother officer.
