The Delhi High Court has upheld the dismissal of a Border Security Force (BSF) personnel found guilty of raping a dead BSF employee's wife, saying that deceitfully coercing a force member's widow into a physical relationship under false promise of marriage violates the standards and honour expected of the uniformed services.
