Pak boat case: Coast Guard DIG removed

Ahmedabad, February 24

Coast Guard DIG B K Loshali, who had contradicted the government’s version on the explosion on board a Pakistani vessel, has been removed as the Chief of Staff at the Northwest region and attached to their zonal headquarters.

This has been done as a Board of Inquiry (BoI) is on against him to establish the facts. “This is a routine procedure. Since a BoI is on, he has been attached to the zonal headquarters in Gandhinagar as per standard operating procedure”, Coast Guard sources said.

The BoI has been ordered against him by the Coast Guard after they found his reply “unsatisfactory” to a showcause notice on his remarks that he had ordered blowing up of a Pakistani boat. — PTI
