Lt Gen (R) Tejinder Singh
Lieutenant-General (retired) Tejinder Singh , accused of trying to bribe Army chief General V.K. Singh, has now been accused of harassment by Major (retired) S.K. Lamba, a whistleblower in the Adarsh Housing Society scam .
Lamba said that between 2005 and 2007, Tejinder – the then Major-General and General Officer Commanding for Maharashtra and Goa – implicated him in false criminal cases to dissuade him from delving deeper into the Adarsh scam, for which the retired Major has filed countless RTI applications since 2005. Late in 2010, it emerged that Tejinder Singh also had an apartment in the tainted society.
Lamba said he held the Lt-Gen. in high regard and confided in him about the Adarsh findings, persuading him to take up the matter, “That is when the problem started,” the retired Major said. He alleged that in February 2006, six Army jawans detained him while he was feeding medicines to stray dogs at the United Services Club at Colaba on the supposed orders of Colonel R.K. Sharma (then military police chief). The jawans lodged a complaint with the Colaba police station, accusing Lamba of misbehaving with them. Two days later, they filed another FIR, accusing Lamba of rash driving.
Singh, the then chairman of the club, also suspended Lamba’s membership for six months.

I think Lt. Gen Tejinder Singh – the then Major-General and General Officer Commanding for Maharashtra and Goa – was right in implicating him as reported above.. He deserved for these. The retired major himself is a scamester. He had been a law breaker and was about to be punished for this when he had taken with him the troops working under him to attack the public at a railway station when posted in Calcutta Cantonement area.. He was not found fit for further promotions, and therefore he put in his papers tor premature retirement and lhe was allowed to do so – to retire in 1980 after completing almost 20 years service. He boasts off as a crusader against corruption, but how was he able to buy a flat in colaba posh area for just Rs. 35000/- whereas its actual value ran in crores. He sits with stray awara street dogs to feed them a couple of biscuits just to get his photograph in doing so to show himself an animal welfare officer of the government of India. How could he feed the stray dogs the medicines ( Is he a veternary doctor?) in the prestegious Services Club? How was Colonel R.K. Sharma (then military police chief) a competent authority to order the retired Major to feed medines to the stray dogs ? Would that not increase the mence of the stray dogs who often bite the children & the passers by and others. Being the President of the Club, probably the GOC did the right thing.
how could he have countenanced such dare devilary 4m a pidley major saab
You are right. The incidents mentioned in the above news are hardly worth mentioning as excuses for the GOC/ President of the club to take revenge against the retired Major in retaliation for the whistleblowing in the Adarsh Society matter.The incidents have nothing to connect them to a much important issue. The GOC could have taken more serious & appropriate action than the reported ones.
Now it seems to me that General VK Singh has a point to make.This case of General Tejender must be probed and expedited at the both ends.
I think the actions of the General Singh as mentioned by you, are actions as if some one has suddenly awakened from a state of COMA. Even Kumbha Karna the notorious brother of Rawana used to take very long sleeps after eating the foods of Millions of thousands of people, but still used to awaken himself before the sleep overtook a period of six months, and mind you he was not fighing against corruption but he was like a major tactical weapon for his brother king, as good as, may be more powerful than, the AGNI-5 because only the God was able to defeat him. Here above the Gen Singh and the retired Maor are said to be fighing against corruption only after theirs long drawn plans & efforts to benefit themselves fail and they suddenly awake from long sleeps of about Two and Six Years respectively. Are their actions bonafide ? Or they are the outcome of failure of their self interests?
