The Indian Navy has ordered a court‑martial for two officers linked to the 2024 sinking of the frigate INS Brahmaputra, NDTV reports.
The Indian Navy announced that two of its officers will be tried by court‑martial in connection with the loss of the frigate INS Brahmaputra in 2024. The decision, reported by NDTV, follows an internal inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the vessel's sinking.
INS Brahmaputra, a Brahmaputra‑class guided‑missile frigate, sank in 2024 during a routine operation, prompting a comprehensive investigation by naval authorities. While the exact cause of the incident remains under review, the navy has identified procedural lapses that it says warrant disciplinary action.
Under the Indian Armed Forces Act, a court‑martial will examine the officers' conduct and determine any breach of duty. The navy has stated that the proceedings aim to uphold accountability and reinforce operational standards within the service.
