The Defence Ministry has asked the CBI to probe allegations that kickbacks were paid in the USD 208 million Embraer aircraft deal that DRDO had struck with the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer during the UPA rule in 2008. Government sources said that since the allegations were of a serious nature, the CBI has been asked to probe. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had earlier this week said that, “If there is a criminal angle then the CBI will probe as the Ministry cannot”.
“If only procedural issues are involved, then the Defence Ministry can do an internal investigation,” he had said. The deal for purchase of three Embraer aircraft during the UPA regime has kicked up dust with US authorities going into alleged payment of kickbacks. The deal has come under the scanner of the US Justice Department which has been probing Embraer for alleged payment of bribes to secure contracts.
DRDO has already sought a report from the Brazilian firm, which has said it has been looking into graft allegations over the last five years. The deal was signed in 2008 between Embraer and the DRDO for three aircraft equipped with indigenous radars for AEW&C (airborne early warning and control systems).

NEW DELHI: As scientists involved in defence research continue to write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi with their grievances, DRDO headquarters has asked all its department heads to take timely action on these complaints to avoid direct communication with PM or Defence minister.

Following series of complaints, the DRDO’s vigilance department has now fixed a deadline to complete probe into any grievance within in ten days of receipt of complaint.

Days after assuming office, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked government officials to give their suggestions directly to his office. But, within months, the PMO’s desk handling grievances was flooded with hundreds of representations. To address complaints, Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha, in August 2015 issued an instruction that writing directly to the PMO by violating the prescribed channel of communication has to be viewed ‘seriously’ and is liable for ‘disciplinary action’.

But, despite strict instructions from the Cabinet Secretariat, several scientists have been continuously approaching prime minister’s office and defence minister.

“In absence of appropriate action to be taken on such complaints, the complainant addresses his grievances to various authorities including the Raksha Mantri (defence minister) and Prime Minister’s Office,” according to an stinker from the vigilance department head of the DRDO, Dr. JP Singh, Director, Vigilance and security writes..

“It has been noted with concern that neither any timely action is taken by the head of Clusters or establishment on complaints which are addressed to them, nor any action taken report is forwarded by them headquarters,”

Vigilance department believe that because of in-action by concerned Clusters or Establishments in the DRDO, ‘copious correspondence among various government agencies take place as all the complaints were processed as per extant of guidelines of the DoPT.

“All heads of Clusters/ Laboratories/ Establishments and Units are requested to take timely action on complaint directly addressed to them and forward Action Taken Report to the Chief Comptroller with ten days of the receipt of complaint,” Dr. JP Singh, Director, Vigilance and security writes.

Citing a Cabinet Secretary note on official communication channel, the DRDO headquarters in August last year, had issued detailed instructions to all its laboratories for strict compliance regarding representations being sent directly to higher authorities bypassing the prescribed channel of communication.14-sept-16-the-new-indian-express

September 11, 2016 – THE HINDU
‘Will make a statement only after studying the DRDO report’

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Sunday said he might recommend a CBI probe into the Embraer aircraft deal if it displayed “criminal nature” after the DRDO wrote to the Brazilian company seeking details of the deal involving three EMB 145 aircraft.

“I have directed the DRDO to send a complete report on the deal by Monday. I will study the report first before making any concrete statement on the issue but I can tell you as of now that if it displays criminal nature, I will hand over the case for CBI probe,” Mr. Parrikar told media persons in Vadodara.

He said: “If there were procedural issues, then an internal inquiry will be ordered.”

The deal

India has asked an explanation from the Brazilian aircraft-maker Embraer following media reports of an international investigation into the alleged payment of bribes to secure an aircraft deal in 2008.

A U.S.-Brazil investigation into the Embraer deal, uncovered a bribery case, leading to a deal between the company and DRDO in 2008.

According to Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo, Embraer had been under investigation by the United States Justice Department since 2010 “when a contract with the Dominican Republic raised the Americans’ suspicions.”

India had signed a $208-million deal in 2008 for procuring three Emb-145 aircraft.

CBI may probe Embraer deal, if needed, hints Parrikar

ANI | Sep 11, 2016,- The Times of India
VADODARA: With the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) writing to Brazilian company Embraer, seeking details on a report that it employed an agent to sell three EMB 145 aircraft to the DRDO in 2008, defence minister Manohar Parrikar on Sunday asserted that if the issues display a criminal nature, then it will be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
Speaking to the media here, Parrikar stated he has asked the DRDO to submit a complete report on the matter on Monday, and it will be only after that that he can make a concrete statement.
“I am not going to give a knee-jerk reaction and just make a statement based on rumours. I have asked for a report, which will be submitted on Monday, and if the issues are of a criminal nature, then we can forward this case to the CBI for a criminal investigation. If there are just procedural issues, then we can do an internal investigation,” Parrikar said.
Admitting that he was himself unaware on several nuances of the issue since it happened in 2008, the defence minister reiterated that he will make a composite statement on the case only after he gets the report on Monday.
Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has asked the Centre to probe the aircraft bribery allegations linked to manufacturers of the Embraer.
A joint US-Brazil investigation into Embraer has uncovered a bribery case leading to a deal signed between the company and DRDO in 2008 for three aircraft equipped with indigenous radars for AEW&C (airborne early warning and control systems).
The company has been under the scanner of the United States Justice Department since 2010 after a contract with the Dominican Republic raised suspicions.

India-Embraer jet deal under scanner for graft, Defence Ministry seeks firm’s reply within 15 days

Leave a comment

Jugal R Purohit, New Delhi, September 10, 2016 – Indiatoday.in

“We are as surprised as anyone else. If there was an investigation, they should have informed us. This is mentioned in the contract,” said a senior Defence Ministry source.

embraer-story_647_091016015848
Rocked by allegations of corruption in its deal with Brazilian aviation firm Embraer, which is under investigation in Brazil and USA, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) responded by saying it had asked for an explanation from the firm over the matter.
“We are as surprised as anyone else. If there was an investigation, they should have informed us. This is mentioned in the contract,” said a senior source.
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar who was in Goa following his tour to the US had been briefed over the matter and with his concurrence, a communication was being sent at the time of writing this piece. “Within 15 days, they are to respond,” said the source.
On its side, the DRDO and MoD will begin re-examining their files for anomalies it was informed.
WHAT HAPPENED
The Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) System is under-development by the Bengaluru based Centre for Air Borne Systems (CABS) for the Indian Air Force. As a part of the deal, the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer modified its jet aircraft, EMB-145 to carry the Active Array Antenna Unit (AAAU), developed by the DRDO, on the aircraft’s fuselage. A total of three modified EMB-145 aircraft had been developed under this agreement.
The various sub-systems of the AEW&C Mission system were integrated into the ‘modified green’ aircraft by DRDO and the full-fledged EMB-145 based AEW&C tested from 2012. The AEW&C system comprises many sub-systems like Radar and communication links that are being designed and developed by DRDO.
WHAT IS AIRBORNE EARLY WARNING AND CONTROL SYSTEM
As the name suggests, this is a mobile, aerial platform to keep an eye on the enemy for any missile launches or fighter plane launches taking place and responding accordingly. It can also be used as a communications platform to direct own planes and missiles, in response.

As per reports which appeared in the Brazilian press, government agencies in Brazil and USA were looking into Embraer’s business deals. It was reported that the firm had hired the services of a UK-based agent for the Indian sale of EMB 145 plane, an arrangement which is disallowed as per the MoD rules.

The deal was concluded in July 2008. A DRDO release from then stated, “A few EMB-145 based AEW&C/AWACS versions are already in operation with Air Forces of Brazil, Mexico and Greece”.

IMPACT OF ALLEGATION

  1. Surprised, Defence Ministry asks Brazilian firm to explain.
  2. Critical project, IAF is awaiting delivery of three planes from DRDO.
  3. DRDO was keen to export this plane with own radar systems to friendly countries.
  4. No action till Embraer explains.
  5. If blacklisted, could curtail India’s options.
  6. India unable to build planes, relies on imports.
  7. IAF uses Embraer for VVIP travel also

NEW DELHI, September 10, 2016 – THE HINDU

Brazilian aircraft major Embraer is alleged to have resorted to bribes, used middlemen to secure contracts.

Brazilian aircraft major Embraer is alleged to have resorted to bribes and used middlemen to secure contracts in India and Saudi Arabia. In India’s case, the payoff was done to a United Kingdom-based middleman in the deal for three Embraer aircraft ordered by the Defence Research and Development Organisation for building indigenous Airborne Early-Warning and Control Systems aircraft for the Indian Air Force.

In India’s case, the payoff was done to a United Kingdom-based middleman in the deal for three Embraer aircraft ordered by the Defence Research and Development Organisation for building indigenous Airborne Early-Warning and Control Systems aircraft for the Indian Air Force.

India has asked an explanation from the Brazilian aircraft-maker Embraer following media reports of an international investigation into the alleged payment of bribes to secure an aircraft deal in 2008.

Embraer is alleged to have used bribes and involved middlemen to secure contracts in India and Saudi Arabia. In India’s case, the payoff was made to a U.K.-based middleman in the deal for three Embraer aircraft ordered by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for building an indigenous Airborne Early Warning and Control Systems (AEW&C) aircraft for the Indian Air Force. A Defence Ministry spokesperson said on Saturday that the DRDO sought an explanation and details from the manufacturer within 15 days.

Under watch since 2010

According to Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo, Embraer had been under investigation by the United States Justice Department since 2010 “when a contract with the Dominican Republic raised the Americans’ suspicions.”

“Since then, the investigation has widened to examine business dealings with eight more countries,” the report said.

The newspaper reported that the company was cooperating in the investigations, and “is expecting to reach a deal soon with American authorities” and has even set aside $200 million to pay “any eventual fines that come about as a result of the process”.

The newspaper has quoted Albert Phillip Close, manager of Embraer’s defence area, as having admitted to the authorities as part of a plea bargain that in the case of India, the aircraft major had contracted a representative to assist in the sale of a surveillance system to the government.

$208-million deal in 2008

India had signed a $208-million deal in 2008 for procuring three Emb-145 aircraft. The planes were delivered beginning 2011 and the project is now nearing completion after a series of delays.

This is the second major defence deal under the scanner after the VVIP chopper case involving Agusta Westland and both the deals were signed by the previous United Progressive Alliance government.

Indian defence procurement prohibits the employment of middlemen in defence deals.

The Defence Ministry spokesperson when asked about the reports said the DRDO will seek explanation and details from manufacturers of Embraer aircraft on media reports on the 2008 deal.

“On receipt of information by the DRDO, further steps may be initiated,” he said.

DRDO to seek explanation from Embraer over kickback allegation

India’s defence research agency DRDO will seek explanation and details from Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer over alleged payment of kickbacks in the USD 208-million jet deal inked during the UPA regime. After receipt of information by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), further steps may be initiated, the Defence Ministry said today after it emerged that the 2008 deal has come under the scanner of US authorities which have been probing Embraer for alleged payment of bribe to secure contracts.
“DRDO to seek explanation and details from manufacture of Embraer aircraft on media reports on aircraft deal signed in 2008. “On receipt of information by the DRDO, further steps may be initiated,” the Ministry said. The deal was signed in 2008 between Embraer and the DRDO for three aircraft equipped with indigenous radars for AEW&C (airborne early warning and control systems). The company has been under investigation by the United States Justice Department since 2010 when a contract with the Dominican Republic raised the Americans’ suspicions.
Since then, the investigation has widened to examine business dealings with eight more countries. “Investigations that have been opened by the government of the United States to establish whether Embraer paid bribes in order to obtain contracts abroad have affected deals that the Brazilian company closed with Saudi Arabia and India,” Brazalian newspaper Folha De São Paulo reported. It is suspected that a leading Indian middleman based in UK was roped in for the deal. DRDO chief S Christopher, who headed the AEW&S programme earlier, did not pick up calls or respond to messages.
Embraer is cooperating with the investigations and announced in July that it was expecting to reach a deal soon with American authorities, the paper said. The company has put USD 200 million aside to pay any eventual fines that come about as a result of the process. The company has not released details regarding the state of the investigations, but three people who have been following the case have confirmed to Folha that the deals concluded in Saudi Arabia and India are being examined, the paper reported.
In both cases, suspicions were underlined in May this year when an employee with more than 30 years at the company reached a plea-bargain agreement in investigations being conducted by the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office in Brazil. Albert Phillip Close, Manager of Embraer’s defence area, told Prosecutor Marcello Miller that he had heard a former sales director who worked in Europe admit to American investigators the payment of commissions to facilitate the sale of aircraft to the Saudis.
In November of 2010, the company announced the delivery of two Embraer 170 executive jets to the Saudi Arabian
state-owned oil company Aramco. The amount of the deal was not announced at the time.

IBN7 की पड़ताल: मसूरी में आदर्श पार्ट-2, सेना के इलाके में खुल गए बार और रेस्तरां

Leave a comment

नीतीश कुमार आईबीएन-7 -September 07, 2016 05:59 PM IST
नई दिल्ली। आज से 6 साल पहले मुंबई में फौज के शहीदों की बेवाओँ को घर देने के नाम पर आदर्श सोसाइटी की नींव डाली गई थी। सारे नियमों को धता बताकर उस सोसाइटी में नेता और अफसरों ने फ्लैट हथिया लिए थे, कानून को ठेंगा दिखा कर 31 मंजिला आलीशान इमारत बना ली गई थी। आईबीएन-7 ने उस वक्त इस घोटाले का पर्दाफाश किया था और आज हम डिफेंस के इलाके में एक और गोरखधंधे का पर्दाफाश करने जा रहे हैं।
सेना को अपने अनुशासन और नियमों का पालन करने के लिए जाना जाता है, लेकिन अगर हम कहें कि मसूरी की वादियों के बीच डिफेंस के एक बेहद संवेदनशील इलाके में धड़ल्ले से अवैध निर्माण हुए हैं। वहां ऐसे लोग रह रहे हैं जिनका सेना से कोई लेनादेना नहीं है, वहां आलीशान मेंशन तैयार हो गए हैं,बार खुल गए हैं,रेस्तरां बन गए हैं और वहां विदेशियों की खुलेआम आवाजाही हो रही है, तो आप हैरान रह जाएंगे।

मुंबई में आदर्श सोसायटी घोटाला आपको याद होगा। महाराष्ट्र की राजनीति में भूचाल लाने वाले इस घोटाले में मुख्यमंत्री को अपनी कुर्सी गंवानी पड़ी थी। कुछ वैसा ही एक और घोटाला हुआ है मसूरी की वादियों के बीच डिफेंस के एक बेहद संवेदनशील इलाके में। यहां धड़ल्ले से अवैध निर्माण हुए हैं
मुंबई में आदर्श सोसायटी घोटाला आपको याद होगा। महाराष्ट्र की राजनीति में भूचाल लाने वाले इस घोटाले में मुख्यमंत्री को अपनी कुर्सी गंवानी पड़ी थी। कुछ वैसा ही एक और घोटाला हुआ है मसूरी की वादियों के बीच डिफेंस के एक बेहद संवेदनशील इलाके में। यहां धड़ल्ले से अवैध निर्माण हुए हैं

मसूरी का ऊपरी इलाका लैंडोर कैंटोनमेंट के नाम से जाना जाता है। एंट्री प्वाइंट पर लगे बोर्ड पढ़कर कोई भी बता सकता है कि इलाका बेहद संवेदनशील है। यहीं DRDO का बेहद संवेदनशील इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ टेक्नोलॉजी मैनेजमेंट भी है। लेकिन यहां की हकीकत चौंका देगी। लैंडोर कैंटोनमेंट के एंट्री प्वाइंट के थोड़ा सा आगे मडकप कैफे है। यहां भारी संख्या में विदेशी आते हैं। ऐसे में अंदाजा लगाना मुश्किल नहीं है कि सुरक्षा के लिहाज से बेहद संवेदनशील इस इलाके में इनकी मौजूदगी कितनी खतरनाक साबित हो सकती है।
कैफे में विदेशी नागरिक नजर आए के भीतर जाते हुए विदेशी महिला को हमने अपने कैमरे में कैद किया। और आगे बढ़े तो और विदेशी चेहरे। इस कैंटोनमेंट इलाके में विदेशी बेफिक्र और बेरोकटोक घूमते हुए। आखिर क्यों और कैसे? किस विदेशी पर भरोसा करें और किसपर नहीं? क्या कैंटोनमेंट इलाके में कोई और अवैध खेल चल रहा है? हम आगे बढ़े तो और चौंके। कैंटोनमेंट के इलाके में धड़ल्ले से चल रहा है अवैध निर्माण। कहीं कॉटेज, कहीं विला, फौज का ये इलाका जैसे अमीरों की ऐशगाह बनता नजर आ रहा था।
आखिर ये कौन लोग हैं जो फौज के बेहद संवेदनशील कैंटोनमेंट इलाके में ताल ठोक कर मकान बनवा रहे हैं और रह रहे हैं? आखिर ये गेस्ट हाउस और रेस्तरां किसकी मर्जी और किसकी इजाजत से चल रहे हैं। क्या आम आदमी भी यहां जमीन लेकर मकान बनवा सकता है? कैंटोनमेंट बोर्ड की चिट्ठी में साफ लिखा है उसने किस भी व्यक्ति या फर्म को यहां गेस्ट हाउस चलाने की इजाजत नहीं दी है फिर ये सब क्या है और कैसे है? DRDO के निदेशक की तरफ से कर्नल स्याह की चिट्ठी में साफ साफ कायदे-कानूनों को ताक पर रखकर लैंडोर कैंटोनमेंट के इलाके में अवैध निर्माण का जिक्र है।
DRDO के वरिष्ठ वैज्ञानिक डॉ वाई अशोक बाबू की में भी ऐसे ही अवैध निर्माणों का जिक्र है। इसके मुताबिक ज्यादातर मकान और संपत्ति मार्श ग्रुप की हैं। वो मार्श ग्रुप जिसके मालिक संजय नारंग बताए जाते हैं। डीआरडीओ के वरिष्ठ साइंटिस्ट वाई अशोक बाबू की चिठ्ठी के मुताबिक धालिया बैंक भी अवैध निर्माण की श्रेणी में आता है। इसके मालिक बिजनेसमैन संजय नारंग हैं।
आईबीएन7 की टीम जब DRDO की चिठ्ठी में बताए गए अवैध निर्माण की तस्वीरें ले रही थी तभी रमेश झा नाम का एक शख्स अपने स्कूटर पर हमसे पूछताछ करने आ धमका। उसने खुद को मार्श ग्रुप का सुरक्षाकर्मी बताया और प्रापर्टी की तस्वीरें न उतारने की ताकीद दी। साथ ही हमारे यहां आने की वजह भी पूछी। उससे निपटकर हम कर्नल स्याल और वाई अशोक बाबू की चिठ्ठी में लिखे दूसरे अवैध निर्माणों की तलाश में आगे बढ़े। आगे एक आलीशान मेंशन था नाम धालिया बैंक।
क्रिकेटर सचिन तेंदुलकर मसूरी आने पर अक्सर इसी धालिया बैंक मेंशन में ठहरते हैं। इस मेंशन को लेकर DRDO और कारोबारी संजय नारंग में विवाद चल रहा है। डीआरडीओ के वैज्ञानिक वाई अशोक बाबू की चिठ्ठी के मुताबिक धालिया बैंक मेंशन को लेकर इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ टेक्नोलॉजी मैनेजमेंट सुप्रीम कोर्ट में केस लड़ रहा है। धालिया बैंक के पास ही बेहद संवेदनशील माना जाने वाला डीआरडीओ का एक इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ टेक्नोलॉजी मैनेजमेंट भी है।
इसमें देश भर के मशहूर साइंटिस्ट ट्रेनिंग देने के लिए आते हैं जिसमें मिसाईल टेक्नोलॉजी और फाइटर प्लेन के निर्माण से जुड़े वैज्ञानिक भी शामिल हैं। ऐसे में लैंडेर कैंटोंनमेंट के अंदर का अवैध निर्माण इनकी सुरक्षा के लिए बेहद खतरनाक साबित हो सकता है। हम और आगे बढ़े तो हाथ में डीआरडीओ वैज्ञानिक की चिट्ठी थी जिसमें लिखी प्रापर्टीज के नाम हम तलाश रहे थे, इसी बीच हमें एक लॉज नजर आया। सेना के निषिद्ध इलाके में एक लॉज आखिर कैसे।
आखिर डिफेंस के बेहद संवेदनशील इलाके में बार, रेस्तरां, लॉज और मेंशन कैसे खड़े हो गए। इसका जिम्मेदार कौन है? क्या ये देश की सुरक्षा के साथ बड़ा खिलवाड़ नहीं है? आखिर आदर्श घोटाले से सेना ने अब तक सबक क्यों नहीं लिया? ये सारे सवाल आईबीएन 7 ने सेना से पूछे सवाल पूछते ही खलबली मच गई, कई दिनों तक जैसे सबको सांप सूंघा रहा। फिर जवाब आया, हमें बताया गया कि सेना ने मसूरी के लैंडोर कैंटोनमेंट इलाके में 8 अवैध निर्माण देखे हैं और उन्हें हटाने की प्रक्रिया शुरू कर दी गर्ई है। यानि सेना ने आईबीएन-7 की पड़ताल और उसके खुलासे पर मोहर लगा दी। लेकिन हमारे इस सवाल का जवाब नहीं मिला कि आखिर इतने सालों से सेना को इनकी भनक क्यों नहीं लगी?
सबकुछ डिफेंस के निषिद्ध इलाके के भीतर वो रक्षा संस्थान जिसकी इजाजत के बिना उसके संवेदनशील इलाके में एक पत्ता तक नहीं खटकता, वहां तमाम लॉज, मेंशन और रेस्तरां खड़े हो गए आखिर कैसे? हमने जब इस बारे में कैंटोनमेंट बोर्ड के सीईओ रहे सुब्रत पॉल से बात करने की कोशिश की तो उन्होंने एसएमएस के जरिए अपने तबादले और अस्वस्थ होने का हवाला दिया।साफ जाहिर है मामला बेहद संवेदनशील है।ऐसे में कोई कुछ बोलना नहीं चाहता।
डिफेस लैंड को मैनेज करने की जिम्मेंदारी कैंटोनमेंट बोर्ड की है। बोर्ड का प्रेसीडेंट सेना का ब्रिगेडियर या मेजर जनरल रैंक का अधिकारी होता है। सो हमने उनसे सवाल पूछा कि क्या उन्हें पता है कि उनके इलाके में धड़ल्ले से अवैध निर्माण किए गए हैं और अब भी किए जा रहे हैं? क्या सेना ने इसकी जांच की, कोई कार्रवाई की?
तो IBN7 को सेना का जवाब आया कि लैंडोर कैंटोनमेंट की डिफेस लैंड बी-3 और बी-4 कैटोगरी की है जिसका मैनेजमेंट डायरेक्टर जनरल डिफेंस इस्टेट के पास है। कुल मिलाकर लैंडोर में 8 अवैध निर्माण के मामले हैं। सारे मामलों का संज्ञान ले लिया गया है और उसे शो कॉज नोटिस के जरिए खाली कराने या तोड़ने की प्रक्रिया शुरू कर दी गई है। फिलहाल लैंडोर कैंटोनमेंट के अंदर अवैध निर्माण वाली 22 प्रापर्टीज को शो कॉज नोटिस जारी किया गया है।लेकिन सवाल ये कि जब इन प्रापर्टीज का निर्माण हो रहा था तब सेना और कैंटोनमेंट बोर्ड कहां था। ऐसे में अगर मामले की सीबीआई जांच की जाए तो सेना और डिफेंस इस्टेट के कई अफसर नप सकते हैं।
जाहिर है सेना को इस गोरखधंधे की जानकारी मिल चुकी थी फिर भी हमारे सवाल पूछने से पहले तक इसकी पर्दादारी की जा रही थी। और अब सेना अनौपचारिक तौर पर सारी गलती कैंटोनमेंट बोर्ड पर थोप रही है। हमने फिर सेना से एक और मेल के जरिए उन 8 प्रॉपर्टीज का ब्यौरा मांगा जिन्हें वो अवैध मान रही है । जवाब मिला कि इस मुद्दे पर आर्मी हेडक्वार्टर ने सेंट्रल कमांड से सफाई मांगी है। सेना ने ये भी माना कि 8 प्रॉपर्टीज के अलावा भी कई अवैध निर्माणों की जानकारी मिली है और जांच जारी है।
लेकिन लाख टके का सवाल तो ये है कि ये सारे अवैध निर्माण एक या दो दिन में हुए नहीं हैं, इन्हें बनाने में कई साल लगे इतने साल सेना क्या करती रही? बोर्ड के प्रेसीडेंट यानि सेना के वरिष्ठ अफसर को इसकी भनक कैसे नहीं लगी? क्या ये सेना की तरफ से बरती गई लापरवाही नहीं है? क्या इस लापरवाही के लिए सेना के आला अफसरों पर कार्रवाई नहीं होनी चाहिए? कहीं इस अवैध निर्माण के पीछे सेना,कैंटोनमेंट बोर्ड और भू-माफिया का कोई गठजोड़ काम तो नहीं कर रहा है? अवैध निर्माण के मामले में सेना और कैंटोनमेंट बोर्ड के आंकड़ों में फर्क क्यों है? सेना ने आदर्श घोटाले से लगता है कोई सबक नहीं लिया, लैंढोर कैंटोनमेंट में सालों से चल रहे अवैध अतिक्रमण पर फौज आंखें मूंदे बैठी रही।

Sir,

You will be surprise to know that it is fashion in DRDO that scientists using Army Jawan specially drivers in their official as well as personal car. Earlier DRDO witnessed the Project vehicle  used Dr K Tamilmani, DG, Aero, DRDO and that time he engaged the Army Havaldar  driver so no one question for duty timings.

Please find some pictures of Army jawans performing duty for private vehicles. EMU, DRDO Dehradun engaged a private Scorpio in contract since few years. The vehicle is fully painted with Bharat Sarkar, Raksha Mantralay, EMU, DRDO etc. Vehicle registered in the name of KHUSHAL SINGH, UK07AR0900 [RISHIKESH ARTO, UK].

The vehicle is driven by Army Jawans but it was observed that vehicle is used for suspicious covert operation by private parties, like today morning at 07:43 vehicle reached at Mr D L Uniyal, Uniyal Nivas, Danda, Dharampur, Dehradun. The vehicle Driver was Hav Rakesh Sharma, posted at EMU, DRDO, Dehradun. He picked Mr Uniyal at 07:46 and moved out to Dehradun. Vehicle crossed Uttarakhand border 08:17 and stopped at Dat Kali Mandir. Antother vehicle Tata Maza driving by CHM Tajindra Singh joined and moved 08:30. As per sources both vehicle going to parental village (Muzaffar nagar, UP) of Dr D P Singh, Scientist ‘G’ who is heading EMU, DRDO, Dehradun since 10 Years. Both vehicles full of relative and friends of Dr D P Singh, Scientist ‘G’.

Sir, this not the first occasion as Army Jawans he is using these Army personal in all his family and his friends, relative assignment without seeing the time.

I want to know why our tax money will utilized by these lecherous DRDO scientist and over to this they are using our respected Jawans as bonded labours.

The both vehicle will return by today late night from Muzaffarnagar, UP. The Drivers having mobile phones

  1. CHM Tajendra Singh – 9411707233
  2. Hav Rakesh Sharma – 8954061889

Hope you will see the matter and these Jawans will get rid from DRDO’s slavery

Subject:  All Around Corruption and Mismanagement of LCA Project by ADA

Respected Sir,

 

Enclosed letter is received by this website and forwarded to you for kind perusal. ADA is den of corruption; they are just sucking funds out. It’s very   unfortunate these officials don’t have even slightest patriotism or commitment to organization.

Top to bottom including those who are working on contract or as a consultant just flowing off money of poor tax payers. Just it is private work centers that are making some primitive aircraft which will never be used by air force.

Now and then, some senior air force officers make positive statements either for some favors from ADA or they may be trying to get some job in ADA or related organizations after their retirement.

Most of the ADA Scientists & finance people using accommodation, TD, DA and taxi massively. This requires complete large scale inquiry from CBI or any competent agency.

Regards
