Army probing allegation of Afghan woman against doctor
New Delhi, Dec 30
Bureau Report

The Army on Tuesday said it was probing the claim of a young Afghan woman who alleged that a married Indian Army doctor duped her into wedlock during his stint in the Indian Mission in Kabul.

Army's Director General of Medical Services Lt Gen N K Parmar said the allegations against Major Dr Chandrashekhar Pant were being investigated and if found guilty action will be taken against the doctor.

Action will be taken based on the report of the investigation," Parmar told reporters here.

A resident of Kabul, Sabra Khan, yesterday met Home Minister P Chidambaram seeking his permission to prosecute the doctor.

Noting that the case is a complex one as a foreign national is involved in it, Parmer said the Army was not denying. "We will have to find out the truth and if he is found guilty, action will be taken against him."

He, however, said the doctor has denied all the allegations.

According to Sabra, she worked with the Indian Mission in Kabul, when she married Major Dr Chandrashekhar Pant for whom she had worked as a translator in 2006.

The doctor had converted to Islam to marry her and changed his name to Himmat Khan but did not reveal his actual marital status, claimed Sabra, who is in India for the past one month to seek justice.
