Commodore's comprommise the nation for his affair ?????

 In recent memory, never has a defence contract been revised thrice. But, Admiral Gorshkov deal has witnessed an unusual hike. Now, in a new twist, it appears a senior Indian naval officer could have done the damage.

Objectionable pictures of Commodore Sukhjinder Singh with a Russian woman have surfaced. This raises serious questions on whether Russia thrust the aircraft carrier deal upon us by luring him into a honey trap.

Court of inquiry is underway now against Commodore Singh. The objectionable pics of Commodore Singh surfaced a fortnight ago.
After this, the Navy chief has briefed Defence Minister A K Antony about the case.

Interestingly, Commodore Singh was uintil a few months ago, a favourite among the Naval top brass. He negotiated the Gorshkov deal - now called INS Vikramaditya.

Gorshkov saw unusual hike from Rs 4,870cr-Rs 11,650 cr. Singh was hand-picked in 2004 to look after Gorshkov refit. Commodore Singh was in Russia from 2005 to 2007.

Sources within the Navy have told, that if the Board of Inquiry finds Commodore Sukhjinder Singh guilty, he will have to face court martial. Sources also say even if he clears charges relating to the Gorshkov deal, he will be asked to leave as his conduct has shamed the Indian Navy. Commodore Singh could be served with a letter of displeasure.
