Adarsh Scam / Case - Former Army Officer: "Land Does Not Belong To Defence Ministry"

"

Retired Lt General GS Sihota has told the commission probing the scam that the land in question does not belong to the MoD. The Defence Ministry has always maintained that Adarsh Society was illegally built on their land while today the former senior officer has told the commission exactly the opposite.  Lt Gen GS Sihota (Retd) also said that he takes responsibility for action taken on that plot of land. He was the area commander when AR Kumar, one of the accused in the case, was posted as an officer in the defence estate office. Mr Kumar was allegedly instrumental in giving the controversial No Objection Certificate or NoC from the Defence Ministry to the state government for construction of Adarsh building.
