BSF personnel stages protest at India Gate

NEW DELHI: A BSF personnel on Saturday staged a protest at the India Gate against the alleged involvement of the force's officers in acts of corruption and smuggling.

Gurmail Singh marched holding the tri-colour in one hand and a chopper in another, demanding that an inquiry be held into the alleged acts of corruption by officers posted on the frontier with Bangladesh.

BSF chief A K Mitra said several cases of indiscipline had been registered against Singh. He, however, said Singh would be "given a chance to speak" on the issues raised by him.

"First we will question him and inquire about the main incident (which prompted Singh to protest)," Mitra told a TV channel.
