Army Lieutenant Colonel on Deputation at AIIMS Gorakhpur Alleges Surveillance, Document Theft and Security Breach; FIR Registered

According to the complaint, the senior military officer has alleged that for the past approximately one and a half years, certain individuals working within the institution, in collusion with others, have been systematically monitoring his movements. The allegations further state that private and confidential documents belonging to him have been repeatedly stolen without any lawful procedure or administrative authorization.

The situation escalated on the night of 26 May 2026 near Gate Number 4 of AIIMS Gorakhpur, when the officer’s personal attendant, Gurpreet Singh, was intercepted by two unidentified individuals. It is alleged that the duo attempted to extract detailed information regarding the officer’s family, residential location, daily routine, and travel routes. When the attendant resisted and attempted to make a phone call, he was allegedly threatened and warned of severe consequences if he disclosed the incident to anyone.

In his formal complaint, the Army officer has expressed suspicion that influential individuals may be involved in the matter. He has further emphasized that, given his status as a serving military officer, the incident could potentially have national security implications and therefore demands a thorough and serious investigation.

Police have registered a case based on the complaint and initiated formal inquiry proceedings. According to City Superintendent of Police Nimish Patil, the allegations are currently under investigation. Authorities will examine CCTV footage from the surrounding area, conduct questioning of relevant individuals, and collect all available evidence to establish the facts of the case. Further legal action will be taken based on the findings of the investigation.

The case has raised significant concerns due to the serious nature of the allegations involving surveillance of a serving armed forces officer, alleged document theft, and possible breaches affecting institutional and national security, making the investigation highly sensitive and closely watched.
