3 army officers found guilty of abuse of authority, involvement in illegal activities
Updated October 11, 2019

"Charges included misuse of authority and involvement in illegal activities unbecoming of an officer," the ISPR said.
Three majors of the Pakistan Army have been found guilty of indiscipline and misconduct charges, including abuse of authority and involvement in illegal activities, Inter-Services Public Relations announced on Friday.

"Upon [being] found guilty of the charges levelled against them, all three [have been] dismissed from service while two [have] also [been] awarded rigorous imprisonment for two years each," the military's media wing stated.

"Charges included misuse of authority and involvement in illegal activities unbecoming of an officer," the ISPR said.

The exact nature of the charges have not been specified, however, and it remains unclear exactly what the three officers were found guilty of.

In August, Army Chief Gen Qamar Bajwa had ratified life sentence for an army officer after he was found guilty of misusing authority.

“Pakistan Army alive to its institutional accountability system has dismissed the officer from service and sent him to jail for life,” a brief statement issued by ISPR had said without naming the person against whom the verdict had been given.

Earlier in May, a former army officer retired Brig Raja Rizwan and a civilian official of a military institution Dr Wasim Akram were sentenced to death, and a 14-year jail sentence was given to retired Lt Gen Javed Iqbal for espionage.

Those officers were tried under the Pakistan Army Act (PAA) and Official Secrets Act.

Why don't they reveal what exactly were they doing? Kidnapping and extortion the usual stuff?

Because it's an internal military justice issue and not a case in the civil court. Thus the details are up to the Army to reveal.

I must also point out that this is just recently where the internal prosecutions by the JAG branch are being printed in press, otherwise the prosecutions of officers and ranks from time to time isn't news within the services in general. The military justice system works in its own archaic, unique way.

It's good that these are being made public. The people must see that there are no holy cows from the law.

 

[Dazzler]

Rigorous punishment for two years. What a joke.

Rigorous punishment for two years. What a joke.

Well we don't know what we did, so it might be a joke, it might not.

Your comment is a joke .... , were u the affected one or in the jury that u gave this statement ...

 

[ghazi52]

Their "career" are gone in the dustbin, what else punishment do we need......................

 

[Introvert]

Their carrier are gone in the dustbin......................

Should be "career" instead of "carrier"

 

[Yaseen1]

Their carrier are gone in the dustbin......................

I think if they are at younger age as it seems because mostly major rank can be achieved around 27yrs age they can still join new field and go abroad for their future career but if they are much older around middle age their career is almost ended

Thanks, corrected.
