Wing Commander C K Sharma, aka PPRuNer seekayess

It has recently come to our attention that fellow ppruner and fast jet pilot Wg Cdr CK Sharma is in a bit of a bother in his home country.

He has been (wrongly?) arrested and thrown into an indian jail for taking part in a protest against the unfair pension structure for retired military personnel. He is 75 years of age and has medical issues such as diabetes which, apparently, is not being considered.

It is considered opinion that it is a bogus case. The fascist right wing Indian government is using this tactic, amongst others, to break the ex servicemen's union, and their very reasonable demands. He is deemed to be a good man who is doing what he feels is right, and standing up for the rights of his brethen.

For those of you that have Sky, check channel 511, NDTV, they mention it regularly.

News report of his arrest:
OROP funds fraud case: CK Sharma sent to judicial custody till March 25 | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis

His daughter's report:
?My father was dragged out of house?, says Nisha Sharma | The Indian Express

His wife's take on the situation:

The website for the IESM:
Indian Ex Servicemen Movement

The Daily Mail:
Indian ex-servicemen Movement to go on hunger strike over ?One Rank One Pension? | Daily Mail Online

Wikipedia on OROP:

I have absolutely no idea if this will even be acknowledged, or do any good, but many of us are signing this on CK's behalf:

As far as we can ascertain, CK is out on bail today but the bogus charges against him still stand.... Keep signing the petition. Who knows, it might do some good?!

CK has been bailed, but the false charges, and the stress and worry for him and his family, still stands...



Please, if you feel that you can, sign the original petition at the end of the OP that concerns CK directly, and also this one which pertains to the OROP - the blurb at the beginning explains it:
