Anjali Gupta will be protected: Air chief

Sushanta Talukdar

SHILLONG: Air Chief Marshal S.P.Tyagi on Monday said that flying officer Anjali Gupta, who had alleged harassment by three Air Force officers, was also an officer of the force and his job was to protect her.

Describing the allegations brought by Ms. Gupta as "serious allegations" the Chief of the Air staff said tough action would be taken against anyone found guilty if the allegations were true. He expressed the hope that the truth would come out soon after the ongoing enquiry was over.

Air Chief Marshal Tyagi was responding to queries on the Anjali Gupta case at a press conference at the Eastern Air Command headquarters here.

Mr. Tyagi also said that the lady officer had been charge sheeted for her alleged insubordination and involvement in financial irregularities for which he said a trial was on.

He, however, made it clear that the IAF would not link the two cases, as they were totally different and have taken the allegations of harassment by Ms. Gupta seriously.
