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.
