The government has removed Coast Guard DIG B K Loshali from the position of Chief of Staff, North West and attached him to the force's Gandhinagar-based regional headquarters. BoI has been ordered against him by the Coast Guard after they found his reply "unsatisfactory" to a showcause notice on his remarks that he had ordered blowing up of a Pakistani boat. According to the Defence Ministry official, the inquiry board, which will be headed by a senior officer of DIG-rank, was collecting inputs from those who were on duty at the time of the incident. The Coast Guard has said "suitable action will be taken on receipt of the proceedings of the Board of Inquiry".
