BSF jawan Tej Bahadur after sacking: ‘Will appeal in High Court, hope I get justice’

Bahadur further said that not all Army officers are corrupt. “I am not saying all Army officers are corrupt, some are really concerned but 50 per cent of officers responsible for poor food conditions,” he is quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

The Summary Security Force Court (SSFC) at Samba dismissed Yadav for making ‘false allegations’ on social media regarding the quality of food instead of adhering to the Army’s grievance redressal mechanism. It observed that he ‘neglected’ obeying orders by possessing two mobile phones while on duty and also posting photographs in uniform on social media. Earlier in the day, a BSF spokesperson said he has been found guilty of committing an act prejudicial to good order and discipline of the force in which he made false allegations on social media regarding quality of food and did not adhere to formal grievance redressal mechanism of the force.

Yadav had earlier posted a video on the quality of food in the BSF, which went viral on social media. He had also alleged corruption in the force. In a series of four videos, Yadav posted visuals of a half burnt parantha and dal that is “more of turmeric and salt” and alleged corruption by senior officials.
