  • After the Kargil war that took place in 1999 between Indian Army and Pakistani soldiers and irregulars in the Kargil sector of India, there were allegations of corruption in the purchase of coffins by the then Government of India. The government had incurred a heavy loss of 187,000 dollars in the entire transaction. Comptroller and Auditor General of India's report had found several fraud in the transaction of coffins. The caskets were purchased from , a company based in United States of America rendering funeral services. The then ruling government National Democratic Alliance had purchased 500 caskets worth $2500 each which was presumed to be thirteen times the original amount. However, the ambassador from both the countries India and United States of America had declared in writing that those caskets had a cost worth $2,768 dollars each. The CBI investigated the case and filed a charge sheet against three Indian Army officers in August 2009. In December 2013, a special CBI court found no evidence and hence discharged all the accused.
