The Hindu reproduces, in the public interest, the key documents that capture the hurried destruction of files regarding a military intelligence unit.

The Hindu on Monday reported that when General (retd.) V. K. Singh, who is now Union Minister of State for External Affairs, was just days away from retiring as Chief of the Army Staff in 2012, > the Army destroyed dozens of documents regarding a military intelligence unit that he had created and whose activities and funding had attracted widespread scrutiny.

The Hindu reproduces here, in the public interest, the key documents that capture the hurried destruction of files recovered from the CD, which was apparently handed over to Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) officials by Sham Das D., the havildar-clerk of the controversial Technical Services Division (TSD). According to the DRI, Das was trying to sell the CD.

In May 2015, Sham Das was sentenced to 10 years’ rigorous imprisonment by a general court-martial of the Army in Delhi. He is now in the Tihar Jail Delhi.
