NEW DELHI: The CBI has been asked by the Defence Ministry to probe complaints against two serving Major Generals for allegedly having assets disproportionate to their known sources of income.
The Ministry had in September red-flagged the promotion of certain officers following allegations of impropriety.
“The Defence Ministry has forwarded to CBI complaints against these two officers and has sought a reply,” defence sources said today, adding that the Government will not tolerate corruption at any level.
The CBI will now look into the complaints and report back to the Ministry.
Giving a background to the case, sources said that a meeting of the Special Promotion Board of the Army was held last year to fill up the vacancy of three Lieutenant Generals for which about 33 officers were considered.
A set of names cleared by the Board was sent to the Defence Ministry. (AGENCIES)
