An IAF pilot was dismissed from service after being indicted by a court of inquiry (CoI) for having an alleged affair with the wife of a fellow officer.
The woman, squadron leader Anandita Das , had allegedly committed suicide in her government flat in Jodhpur in November last year. She reportedly had a tiff with her husband, Squadron leader V. Nair, a Su-30 MKi pilot.
The IAF confirmed that flight lieutenant Ishant Saran was dismissed from service after he was indicted by the court of inquiry for " stealing affection of brother officer's wife", an offence under the military rules.
The officer's affair with the woman came to light during investigation of circumstances that drove her to suicide, allegedly after some argument with her husband.
The court of inquiry constituted by the IAF concluded that the young officer's conduct was not appropriate and recommended his dismissal.
The recommendation of CoI was recommended to the defence ministry which approved the dismissal. The IAF said the inquiry only dealt with the aspect of the young officer having an affair. The reasons for the suicide were being investigated though there was no indication if her husband was responsible. Anandita and Nair got married in 2008 after being commissioned in 2006.
