Indian naval officer overseeing aircraft carrier work sacked for immoral conduct

An Indian Navy officer who was posted to Russia to oversee the refit of aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov has been sacked for having sexual relations with a Russian woman.

Explicit photographs of him and the woman surfaced during India’s negotiations for a new price for the carrier.

It was thought that he had compromised India’s position during the negotiations. However, the Navy stressed that his “transgressions” did not compromise India’s position.
