The army has ordered a probe into allegations of Indian peace-keepers in Congo indulging in sexual and child abuse weeks after charges surfaced that had left defence authorities redfaced.
The probe is being conducted by a senior army officer posted in the central African state, top army officials said in Delhi on Tuesday night.
The order for the probe was given by army's Vice Chief Lt Gen M L Naidu, who was on a four-day visit to Congo recently to meet the troops deployed for the UN peace-keeping mission there.
