"Ever since I was posted at Army Service Corps batallion in Kalka (Haryana) in October 2007, three of my officers started physically and mentally torturing me," the officer, who made a written complaint to the Army authorities on July 13, alleged.

The captain, who is unmarried, said, "on occasions, my parents and sister used to come and live with me (in Kalka). This irked the three officers who always forced me to throw them out. If I did not pay heed to them, I was sent on duties to far off places which anyone can check (as these are) on record," she said on phone.

She claimed that the three officers were ‘in league with each other. All the three harassed me mentally and physically’. She also said she had been put under ‘house arrest’.

When contacted, an army spokesman denied the allegations made by the captain and said an officer of the rank of a major general has reached Kalka to look into the issue.

He said that she had been earlier asked to lead a convoy to Pathankot but she had refused giving ‘some lame excuses’ to avoid the duty.
