Army officer posted in Jabalpur detained by Military Intelligence

The Army has not released any official statement about the detention but is likely to do so on Thursday.

“It would be early to say if it is a case of honey trap or corruption or both,’’ an Army official said, adding that investigations are on.

The Military Intelligence was alerted by Intelligence Bureau about the officer of Electronics and Mechanical Engineers (EME) corps, after a big transaction was noticed from his account. The officer is married to another officer of the Army Service Corps.
