New Delhi: The captain of  the INS Talwar,  a frontline frigate of the Indian Navy,  has been relieved from command after his order caused the death of a young officer at sea.

Captain Rahul Parmar allegedly ordered young officers on board his ship to dive into the sea off the coast of Gujarat. He allegedly wanted to test their bravery and readiness for emergencies.  One of them-  a sub-lieutenant and the youngest officer on the ship - drowned. The tragedy occurred on December 29.

The INS Talwar was on patrol duty;  it has been used for anti-piracy operations in the recent past.

A Board of Inquiry has been completed by the Navy; it has asked Captain Parmar to be relieved.
