IAF issues show-cause notice to fighter pilot following allegations of rape
New Delhi, Oct 4: The Indian Air Force (IAF) has slapped a show-cause notice on a wing commander after a court of inquiry probing allegations of rape against him found that he violated protocols, official sources said.
The notice was served on the fighter pilot, who is posted at Ambala air base, on Thursday, they said.
The IAF does not tolerate such acts of moral turpitude, the sources said.
In the show-cause notice, the IAF asked the officer why his services should not be terminated, they said.
According to the sources, a 25-year-old former civilian intern at the Institute of Aerospace Safety in Palam has accused the wing commander of rape.

Besides the court of inquiry, the officer also faced a probe by the Western Air Command.
The intern had filed a detailed complaint with the IAF in the case in March this year.
She alleged that the officer raped her in November 2023. It is learnt that the woman had also filed a complaint with Delhi Police in December 2023, the sources said.

Modi govt facilitating recruitment of Indians in war-torn West Asia, alleges Mallikarjun Kharge
New Delhi, Oct 4: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday alleged that the Modi government's skill development cooperation is facilitating the recruitment of about 15,000 Indian workers in Israel in the West Asia war.
He claimed that earlier youth from the country were duped by dubious agents for going to the Russia-Ukraine war and many lost their lives too.
"It speaks volumes about the Joblessness induced by the anti-youth policies of the Modi Government," he said in a post on X.
"The fact that young unskilled, semi-skilled and educated youth are willing to risk their lives and serve in war-ridden theatres, at reportedly high salaries, tells you that PM @narendramodi’s lofty claims on Jobs are nothing but Fake Retorts to hide his own failures!
"Youth of Haryana who are forced to seek jobs in these conflict zones will teach a befitting lesson to the BJP, tomorrow," Kharge said in his post.
"None less than Modi Government's National Skill Development Cooperation is facilitating the recruitment of about 15,000 Indian workers in Israel, amidst the war in West Asia," he alleged.
The Congress chief's comments came a day ahead of the Haryana Assembly elections, where his party is seeking to wrest power back from the BJP after a gap of ten years.
