Departmental action has started as per recommendations of Board of Inquiry (BOI) probing attack on PSN Mehran that had cost life of ten security personnel and destruction of P3C Orion aircraft.
A senior Navy official requesting not to be named confirmed to Online that BOI had given recommendations after completing its process. “As per the recommendations of the BOI, the departmental action has been initiated,” he added.
According to the official, it was premature to say whether or not certain officials would face court martial.
Earlier a private TV channel quoted sources saying that army had begun the court martial of three senior officials held responsible for lapses during a terrorist attack on a naval airbase in the southern port city of Karachi in May.
According to the channel’s sources, the court martial proceedings initiated after a naval board of inquiry into the attack on the PNS Mehran airbase submitted its findings.
The commanding officer of PNS Mehran, the naval aviation commander, and security officer of the airbase were facing court martial, it claimed adding that some other officers might also face consequences.
It is vital to note down here that senior journalist Syed Saleem Shahzad was abducted and killed days after he alleged in an article that al-Qaeda had infiltrated the Pakistan Navy.
