Indian Navy has dismissed a commander from service for sending lots of lewd SMS from his mobile phone to women, both within the force and outside, for many months.
After receiving several complaints against the officer, the Navy instituted a court martial against Commander R V Desai, in December last. He was serving with western naval command at the time.
The court martial ordered his dismissal in January, which was brought into effect in February, Navy spokesperson, Commander P V S Satish, said here. The dismissed officer, with close to 15 years service in the Navy, may appeal to the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT).
Dismissal from service by court martial entails loss of pension benefits and stripping of ranks. However, the latter punishment depends on the AFT decision and subsequent appellate decisions by the Supreme Court.
