Indian Air Force (IAF) has removed the Air Officer Commanding (AOC) Srinagar Air Base, the senior-most officer of the base, in wake of the investigations going on into the crash of Mi-17 helicopter in Budgam district in central Kashmir on February 27 this year.
“IAF is considering whether or not it should slap criminal charges against those found lacking. Culpable homicide not amounting to murder is one of the charges that IAF is contemplating pressing against those found guilty by the CoI,” Hindustan Times reported on Tuesday.
The report quoting a senior defence ministry official said that as unprecedented as it might be, IAF leadership is clear that such lapses are not repeated and there will be no tolerance of lapses.
