An Indian Navy officer's wife stationed in Kochi cantonment has alleged sexual harassment against her husband and some of his superior officers. Kochi police have registered a case against 10 officers after the wife of a lieutenant reported that her husband made her sleep with them.

She has alleged her husband did this to further his own career. "If the police can produce them, I can identify. That time they came towards me. Some people tried to cut my hair, some tried to touch my body. Some tried to take out my clothes. I shouted and cried like anything," she added.

However, Southern Naval command has dismissed her allegations. It has issued a statement saying the couple had marital differences, and the woman is leveling allegations to build up a case against her husband. In a statement Navy sources said that the couple was sent to a marriage councilor in an initiative to mend the relationship.
