Indian Navy sailors assault officer on board INS Sandhayak, removed by using helicopter
New Delhi, Mar 10 (IBNS) : Four sailors of the Indian Navy have been removed from the survey ship INS Sandhayak after they allegedly assaulted an officer on board, NDTV reported.
The incident occurred off Paradip along the Odisha coast.
A helicopter was used to pull up the accused sailors, likely to be charged with insubordination.
According to reports, the sailors were asked by their officer to pull the survey motor boats onboard. The boats are mounted on the INS Sandhayak when they are not in use.
Asked to stand in attention, one of the sailors "deliberately slouched" in an act of defiance. This is likely to have prompted the officer to try and physically make him stand properly,NDTV said.
Enraged, the sailor hit him and his colleagues joined in, beating up the officer.
Security teams were called in and a helicopter was brought in to remove the sailors from the ship. They now face disciplinary action.
