The Indian Air Force, in its enquiry, has found more than one official guilty in the case of the “accidental” firing of an unarmed supersonic missile into Pakistani territory, sources said, adding that severe action would be taken against the persons found guilty.
The enquiry is being conducted by Air Vice Marshal R.K. Sinha, who is probing how the missile got fired during routine maintenance work.
An unarmed supersonic missile “accidently” took off from Sirsa and landed at a place 124 km within Pakistani territory on March 9 evening. The Indian Defence Ministry had “regretfully” explained it as “a technical malfunction”.
