New Delhi: Taking strong steps on allegations of forgery in the notes of officials considered for promotion to the second highest place in Indian coast guards, the Ministry of Defense has ordered an investigation at the joint secretary level to investigate this problem.

Defense Ministry officials confirmed that the investigation occurred on charges but declined to comment further about this problem.
Both Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Defense Secretary Ajay Kumar had adopted a zero tolerance policy on any corruption in the strict ministry and actions had been taken against the wrong official in the past.
The source said the problem began in July when the promotion board for one additional job Director General post was held.
Allegedly there is a difference in the sign given to each officer in the documents presented before the board and original documents in the Ministry of Defense Note.
