complicity of military officers was
given to a private housing society.

But the building ended up being a 31-
storey tower.
 
| Úhis building was built for the
Kargil war heroes and widows.
| But army took no action in this
regard because several army
officials, including former army
Chief Deepak Kapoor himself,
had flats in this society. IBN7
did the special investigation on
this.

politicians & bureaucrats as well
as Army & Navy commanders

3-BHK of 1,076 sq ft carpet area Ȅ on the 15th floor. Úhe

| According to the present market rate in the Colaba
area, an average two-to three-bedroom-hall-kitchen
(BHK) flat in Adarsh society could cost between Rs 6
crore and Rs 8.5 crore. However, members of the
society paid Rs 60-85 lakh for each flat.

| Amid growing anger over the Adarsh Housing Society
scam, the Army is all set to begin its own probe into the
controversial allotment of flats to its retired and serving
officers.
| Úhe Army, for now, has sought legal opinion on setting up a
Court of Inquiry (CoI) into the issue and will likely issue
orders for the same in a day or two. Úhe Army probe will
focus on the role of some 40 officers.
| Úhere are also reports that the Army has already submitted
a preliminary probe report to the Ministry of Defence and
is awaiting its nod to take the investigation further.
