New Delhi: Former Army Chief VK Singh will appear in court on Saturday regarding the defamation case that was filed against him by Lt Gen Tejinder Singh and four other senior serving Army officers. A city court had issued a bailable warrant against him earlier when he failed to appear in one of the hearings.
General Singh had claimed that Lt Gen Tejinder Singh, who retired as chief of Defence Intelligence Agency in July 2010, made a Rs 14 crore bribe offer to him when he was the Chief of Army Staff for the Tatra truck deal. CBI sources had said that gate pass and entry records were not enough to prove bribery charges.
General Singh had made the allegations in the middle of a bitter age battle with the government. He had claimed that he was offered a Rs 14 crore bribe in September 2010 to clear the purchase of a tranche of 1,676 Tatra trucks for the Indian Army.
The Lieutenant General had refuted the allegations and also slapped a defamation case against General Singh.
