A first, woman Army officer jailed for graft

This should not surprise anyone, women pretend to be different from men, but are they in reality? Well you be the judge. But that said, when it comes to suiting there situation they are women at that point, example when they need to screw innocent men with 498a, etc. This type of women should be sent to Afganistan to be treated by the Taliban, they can fix her problem once in for all.

In another case, she was accused of violating good order and discipline under the Army Act when she suggested the name of a defence lawyer to the accused Havildar Chandran, who was facing a GCM in Dehradun in 2006. In the same case, she was accused of improperly visiting one Captain Kumud Maini, who was a defence officer in Chandran's case, asking him not to divulge any information to the press regarding the GCM.
