First woman Army major to be court-martialled for corruption

     A woman army major, Dimple Singla, has become the first woman to be court-martialled on charges of corruption. She has been sentenced to a year's rigorous imprisonment and dismissed from service. Proceedings were initiated against Singla in 2007. She was accused of abusing her position as a public servant by accepting Rs. 10,000 from the Defence Counsel in a court martial in which she was the Judge Advocate in November 2004. Major Singla has the option of appealing to the Army commander or to move the armed forces tribunal.
