New Delhi: Former Indian general and military secretary, Lt Gen (retd) Avadesh Prakash was held guilty in the infamous Sukna land scam, Indian media reported on Saturday.
Avadesh Prakash, whose court martial proceedings in Guwahati got over Friday, was held guilty on three counts, including misuse of official position.
He is likely to be sentenced in the case today itself.
The scam involved transfer of 71 acres of land adjacent to Sukna military station in West Bengal.
The Indian army had in January this year punished another senior officer and former 33 Corps Commander Lt Gen PK Rath in the same case and had awarded punishment involving loss of seniority and some part of his pension.
