‘Wife-Swapping Case' by Naval Officers to be Heard in Supreme Court of India

This time men in uniform are rocking in the news for the wrong reasons. Insiders can never deny the fact that the current allegation of wife swapping could have been in practice among the armed force officers. But seldom had the reality come into light in media or in open.

This episode also could have been buried if this woman would have fallen into the line of armed force officers party’s practices. But she chose to blow the whistle.

The Supreme court of India will hear the plea of the woman along with her other petition on restraining the Kerala High Court from giving any relief to the accused in the case

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear the plea of a naval officer's wife seeking a CBI inquiry against her husband and other officers of Southern Naval Command in Kochi for allegedly torturing her and forcing her to participate in "wife-swapping" parties.

A bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam said that it would hear the plea of the woman along with her other petition on restraining the Kerala high court from giving any relief to the accused in the case.

Submitting that complaint filed by her is not being investigated freely and fairly by the Kerala Police, she pleaded before the apex court that her complaint be probed by CBI.

"The local police is under a lot of pressure to treat the matter as a matrimonial dispute and are watering down the serious and grave allegations of the complaint against the naval officers," she alleged.

She gave a detailed account of the various alleged incidents of torture and molestation in her petition and also annexed the invitation cards of "wife-swapping" parties for which she was "tortured mentally and physically to participate". She submitted that she had written a letter to chief of Naval staff on March 5 but no action was taken on the complaint.

According to the news, the complainant woman is severe under pressure from armed force officers and she has been even tortured and illegal cases are built up to make her withdraw the case. Police seems to be hand in globe with armed forces and with men in uniform, because its largely a man’s world and they want to prove women has no say.
