On Tuesday, Gen Singh had forwarded to the CBI a complaint letter sent by Trinamool MP Ambika Banerjee in May last year, which alleged corruption in purchases for the Special Frontier Force when Lt Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag was its Inspector General.

Lt Gen Suhag now commands the Dimapur-based 3 Corps and is in line — after Lt Gen Bikram Singh — to become army chief.
