Chennai: Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari denied charges that a two-finger test was done on a woman IAF officer from Coimbatore, who named a Lieutenant of sexually abusing her in IAF campus. The Air Chief Marshal said on Tuesday that all disciplinary action will be taken based on a report of inquiry. 

The PTI quoted the Air Chief Marshal as saying, "No two finger test was done...Disciplinary action will be taken based on the report of inquiry."

The statement comes after a 28-year-old woman alleged that she was raped by a Lieutenant of the Air Force after giving her a drink laced with drugs. Further, she alleged that she faced threats and intimidations and was once told to give it in writing that she gave consent to the crime committed by the Lieutenant.

She also accused that the Air Force did not act on the complaint and that forced her to give a complaint at a police station. In the FIR, she charged that she was subjected to a banned two-finger test to confirm the rape. She also alleged that the hospital falsely informed her that her swab sample tested negative but only later she found out that the samples were not sent at all.

Meanwhile, the Air Chief gave the statement while addressing the media ahead of the 89th anniversary of the Air Force where he said that IAF is committed to the theatralisation programme and initiative should be taken forward with involvement of all the three forces. 

He said, the IAF is prepared to deal with the threat to security in east Ladakh and a new infrastructure will be created on the Chinese side to increase India's combat.
