Saucy Photos

‘JOHN Kerry may be under attack over claims he exaggerated his Vietnam war heroics, but he’s got a way to go before he can match Colonel HS Kohli, an Indian soldier who faked his claim for a medal by splashing ketchup on civilians and pretending they were rebels he had killed.

The colonel, who commanded an artillery regiment, is said to have posed civilian staff as dead militants for photographs he used to back up a claim for gallantry medals.

Kohli was found guilty of the deception at a court martial and is expected to be dismissed from service.

The Mirror is believed to be bidding for the exclusive rights to the photos.’
