NewsX: Unit set up by V K Singh misused secret funds - Army inquiry

New Delhi: The Army has requested the Defence Ministry to order a high-level probe into the functioning of a top secret intelligence unit set up by Gen VK Singh, suspecting it of carrying out "unauthorized operations" and financial wrongdoings. The unit set up by former chief of Army VK Singh used secret funds to try and topple Omar Abdullah government in Jammu & Kashmir, said in a report. The Army report about the Technical Support Division, which was accused of illegally tapping phones of senior Defence Ministry officials, has been submitted to the Defence Ministry recently and it has recommended a probe into the functioning of the unit, sources said here. When contacted, Army Headquarters said the matter was closed on its part and it would not like to comment on it. Sources said the Army does not want to carry out inquiry against the unit on its own as it does not want to be seen as taking action against its former chief. The report was prepared by Director General Military Operations Lt Gen Vinod Bhatia as part of a Board of Officers (BOO) formed by Gen Bikram Singh to review the functioning of the top secret unit set up under his predecessor.
