New Delhi: Former Indian army chief General VK Singh has been summoned to a Delhi court on July 20. NDTV reported on Friday.
According to the reports, General Singh, who retired last month, has been sued by Tejinder Singh, a former army officer, who allegedly offered General Singh 140 million as a bribe for clearing “substandard trucks” in 2010.
In March this year, the army in a press release stated that Tejinder Singh, who retired in July 2010 as Director of Intelligence Agency (DIA) had tried to avoid the guidelines to buy off-the-air monitoring equipment.
