DMSRDE – Second Fact Finding Inquiry Committee 9th & 10th July 2014

2 Comments

It seems DRDO take U –turn in DMSRDE corruption cases. Shri AvinashChander , DGR&D and SA to RM constituted second four members  FFIC under Chairmanship of Dr. D C Pande, Outstanding Scientist, LRDE, Bangalore  and members Shri Haribabu Srivastva, Director, LASTEC, New Delhi, Shri R S Mehta, Joint Director, Dte of Vigilance& Security, DRDO Hqrs, Shri Jagdeep, Scientist ‘F’,Dte of Materials Management DRDO Hqrs  reached at Kanpur on 9th July early morning 5:00 AM at DMSRDE, Guest House, Kanpur by Rewa Express.

In deference to three members first FFIC which was led by Dr. S S Negi, Outstanding Scientist,this second FFIC did not entertained Dr. A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur. Dr.Saxena  was sent for two days leave and remained in  his government residence just adjacent to Transit Hostel’s DRTC Room where whole FFI was  conducted for two days by FFIC.

The first FFIC Committee did their inquiry under supervision of Dr. A K Saxena in DMSRDE Office in the room just opposite to Dr. Saxena office so that he can monitor activities of first FFIC. Chairman & members of first FFIC tried their best to discourage complainants and in month of March 2014  all scientists were under pressure due to their APAR and coming assessment and not opened or uttered any single word against Dr. A K Saxena in front of   first  FFI Committee. The first FFI Committee overlooked the gravity of complaints to Defence Minister rather they were busy in digging the past history of complainants. They were basically misleded and managed by Dr. A K Saxena.

The letter No DOP/DS/008/M/01 dated 28 May 2014 of DOP Dr. A K Singh prepared on basis of first FFI Committee Report already exposed the nexus between Dr. A K Saxena and first FFI Committee because the without any constitution rights and ignoring the terms and condition of FFI Committee they simply recommended the transfers of both complainants with baseless and illogical reasons. It should be asked to Dr. S  S Negi, Outstanding Scientist that if on allegations of habitual  drinking one senior Scientist  may be transferred then what about the drinkers of whole DRDO right from top at DRDO HQ and bottom at 52 Establishment/Labs of DRDO. Why they have not been transferred even they are heavy habitual drinker. In fact first FFIC was  hijacked by  Dr. A K Saxena.

The two days grilling of involved scientists of DMSRDE by second  FFI Committee members especially by Shri Mehta, Vigilance, DRDO Hqrs shows some hope that the committee will help to Shri Avinash Chander , DGR&D and SA to RM and DRDO Hqrs to take one step forward towards eradicate prevailing corruption in DRDO like Dr A K Tyagi, Sc ‘G’ waiting to face CVC disciplinary proceeding against him as he also involved in corrupt practices in procurement at DIAT, Pune.

Some scientists of DMSRDE given in writing about the facts of these procurements and shows their helplessness.

Second FFI Committee also got advantage that the DRRDS result was declared and scientists who supported Dr. A K Saxena’s corrupt practices under pressure opened up and exposed the modus of oprendi adopted by Dr. A K Saxena.  FFI Committee also got inputs about nexus between M/s Manglam Trades, Kanpur (Mr.Anish Gupta/Mr. Manish Gupta) and Dr. A K Saxena in various procurement cases.

1.       Reactor case is open case that the procurement was done in coalition  with M/s Manglam Trades because all mails are the perfect evidences of corruption and DRDO Hqrs already aware that CBI, Lucknow have already got all evidences and approached MOD. Payment of Reactor case has not been made till so far even after 18 months the Reactor was installed in January 2013 at DMSRDE.

2.       The case of procurement of Laboratory Microprocessor Based Programmable High Temp.Furnace supplied by M/s   Omega Furnace Industries, Bangalore. In this case illegal Second TPC was done for recommending to make payment  to M/s Manglam Traders, Kanpur.( It can happen only in DRDO)

3.       Fume Hood Chamber procurement case is open example of looting in DRDO.

Common man are waiting to see the impact of new Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji’s Government on  DRDO, as Shri Avinash Chander Ji especially mentioned in his address in last JCM that “now new government has come and the accountability is also increased”.

It is coincidence that both FFIC having chairman from Uttarakhand and Uttarakhandies are famous for their honesty and devotion in service. We hope that like Dr. S SNegi, the Chairman of second FFIC Dr. D C Pande will not be hijacked by corrupt nexus of DRDO and he will do justice with DMSRDE people.

Jaihind

RTI is only weapon to correct the mind of so called Dictators of DRDO

Dear friends of DRDO,

Following inputs being published for awareness of all DRDO officials. All of them are experiencing the arbitrariness of entire DRDO‘s Lab directors. Every year you all are silent spectators of this arbitrary conduct of the respective lab directors when DRDS or DRTC promotion’s results are declared.

Few days’ frustration looks are seen on the faces of few but again they indulge in the same cycle. If you seriously observe the health condition of DRDO scientists, this time every year a bitter sip of humiliation distorted the life and health conditions of each one.

It is not because of their failure in assessment. It is because of the success of those incompetent / working on non-scientific assignments.

Earlier in days of beginning of 90’s this kind of push pull was not done openly or in a big way. One or two cases were seen in entire DRDO, but nowadays Directors, New born DG’s, DRDO Hqrs beloved boys are fully creating dadagiri and clearing/helping incompetent and ignoring all those who are seriously involved in scientific research and development.

Although the exodus ratio dropout because of two reasons. One, the world economic recession and two, the VIth pay commission hike in pay package of scientists, but this frustration directly affected their output and as well as their daily life. The enthusiasm of young scientists is lost in DRDO and now they are involved to mint money in all means. An example would be like the LTC 80 scam of Metcalf house is a clear signal of the mindset of the new generation of DRDO team.

The following papers are the example of dadagiri of DRDO lab directors. Sh. M R Gupta, TO ‘C’ was joined DRDO in 9 Nov 1979 as JSA – II, subsequently transferred IRDE in 1981 and in 1987 in DEAL, he is IETE graduate (1987), presently he is working as TO ‘C’ in DEAL since 2008. As per normal conditions he is supposed to get a promotion in 2001.

Sh. M R Gupta rested his ACR/APAR through RTI in 2013 from 1987 to 2013 after a long battle CIC ordered to supply all ACR to DRDO on 4th March 2014 vide File No.CIC/LS/A/2013/001815/RM dated 2014 “DECISION – The Commission directed the CPIO to provide copies of ACRs for the period 1987-2007 as sought by the appellant within three weeks from the date of receipt of this order, free of cost”

Now see in followin enclosed document, Sh M R Gupta shocked to see that his two year ACR/ APAR of 1995 and 96 was blank and in 2004 ACR/APAR was reviewed by Sh Y P Sehgal, Ex Sc ‘G’ illegally as Sh M R Gupta was never worked with him and put adverse remark “ One disciplinary case is with DRDO Hqrs”  and remark was duly approved by the Director, Sh Ashok Sen and best part of this RTI revealed that it was not even communicated to Sh M R Gupta.

This illegal unethical act done by Sh. Ashok Sen, then Director, DEAL was perfect example of DRDO work atmosphere, which proves that the absolute power made DRDO Lab’s director became autocratic/dictator/tyrant, etc.

This is not the only case you will find this kind of act in the entire DRDO. RTI’s also revealed that in several cases white fluid applied in ACR/APAR, tempering of marks in any stage even after in final stage at DRDO Hqrs.

It is requested to all suffering DRDO officials to please file RTIs with reference to supreme court order of Justice Markandey Katju, in Devi dutt Vs Union of India  (CIVIL APPEAL NO. 7631 OF 2002) to confirm your ACR/APAR marks and comments.

One more important observation is that these DRDO Lab’s director also authenticating false claim of work to their beloved incompetent scientists.

Hope with the following example you all will review your promotion profile and analyze the possible flaw in the process of DRDO’s promotion mechanism.

डीआरडीओ की कानपुर स्थित डी एम एस आर डी ई, लैब में व्याप्त भ्रष्टाचार

1 Comment
सेवामें                                                                                                       दिनाक  – 9th July 2014
माननीय श्री  अरुण   जेटली  जी
रक्षामंत्री ,भारत सरकार
साउथ ब्लॉक
नई दिल्ली -110011

विषय : डीआरडीओ की कानपुर स्थित डी एम एस आर डी ई, लैब  में वयाप्त भ्रष्टाचार के सन्दर्भ में

अब  तक रक्षा मंत्री के पद संभालने पर आपको आपके अधिकारियों ने डी आर डी ओ में व्याप्त भ्रष्टाचार के बारे में अवगत करा दिया होगा  और पिछले सालो से भ्रष्टाचार  व्भाई भतीजा वाद के शिकायतों का अम्बार भी दिखा दिया होगा I

डी आर डी ओ द्वारा 10000 करोड़ हर साल खर्चने के बाद भी हारपून मिसाइल अमेरिका से खरदीने की सेना की मजबूरी से अपने अंदाजा लगा लिया होगा की डी आर डी ओ किस दिशा में जा रहा है I

सर क्या आपको 40 दिनों के दौरान एक भी सैन्य  अधिकारी मिला जिस ने डी आर डी ओ की वकालत की और आप के मंत्री पूर्व सेनाध्यक्ष श्री वी के सिंह का डी आर डी ओ के प्रति क्या आंकलन है I

डीआरडीओ  में व्याप्त भ्रष्टाचार ख़त्म करने के लिए आपको कठोर कदम उठाने होंगे जिससे इस महत्वपूर्ण संस्थान को प्रोडक्टिव बनाया  जा सके I

इसी सन्दर्भ में आपको सूचित करना है कि पिछले कुछ महीनो से  डी आर डी ओ की कानपुर स्थित डी एम एस आर डी ई  लैब  में वयाप्त भ्रष्टाचार की  दर्जनो  शिकायतों बाद एक फैक्ट फाइंडिंग इन्क्वायरी समिति द्वारा जाँच की गयी और मामले को रफा दफा करने का  प्रयत्न करते हुए दो शिकायतकर्ता वरिष्ठ वैज्ञानिको का तबादला कर दिया गया, तबादलों के पीछे भ्रष्टाचार का खुलासा करना वजह बताते हुए दोनों वैज्ञानिकों ने कैट में याचिका दायर कर दी।

सर, आश्चर्य की बात है कि  जंहा एक ओर आज अमर उजाला कानपूर 8 जुलाई 2014  के  हवाले से  डॉ. रवि कुमार गुप्ता, निदेशक (पब्लिक इंटरफेस, डीआरडीओ) कहना है कि  डी आर डी ओ की इंटरनल इनक्वायरी में सारी शिकायतें फर्जी पाई गई हैं। (यंहा एक बात और स्पष्ट करनी है कि  डी आर डी ओ में मीडिया मैनेजमेंट के लिए हर साल लगभग २ करोड़ का बजट रखा जाता है क्या मंत्री महोदय इस बात को संज्ञान  में लेंगे )

वंही दूसरी ओर  डी आर डी ओ ने एक और फैक्ट फाइंडिंग इन्क्वायरी समिति का गठन करते  हुए डा. डी सी पाण्डेय, वैज्ञानिक-एच,एल आर डी इ,बैंगलोर,चेयरमैन तथा सदस्य श्री हरीबाबू श्रीवास्तव,  निदेशक,  लेसटेक , दिल्ली  श्री   जगदीप , साइंटिस्ट , ऍफ़  व्श्री  आर एस मेहता , जॉइंट  डायरेक्टर , विजिलेंस एंड   सिक्योरिटी , डीआरडीओ हेडक्वाटर को दिनाक 9 व्  10 जुलाई  2014 से  इन्क्वायरी हेतु नियुक्त् किया है I

श्री हरीबाबू श्रीवास्तव  निदेशक  लेसटेक, दिल्ली के मूवमेंट  आर्डर (No 027/V&S/Mov/LASTEC dated 2/7/2014 ) में स्पष्ट लिखा है  “To attend meeting on Fact Finding Inquiry(FFI) Committee at DMSRDE, Kanpur”

डी आर डी ओ कैट में शपथपत्र  द्वारा कह चूका है कि  डीआरडीओ की इंटरनल इनक्वायरी में सारी शिकायतें फर्जी पाई गई हैं।तो  दिनाक 9 व् 10  जुलाई 2014 में  फैक्ट फाइंडिंग इन्क्वायरी समिति

किसकी इन्क्वायरी करेगी या डा ऐ के सक्सेना निदेशक, डी एम एस आर डी ई के साथ बैठ कर देश के  गरीब करदाताओं के पैसे से दावते करेंगे I

ये नई फैक्ट फाइंडिंग इन्क्वायरी का गठन यह साबित करता है की पहली फैक्ट फाइंडिंग इन्क्वायरी समिति का उपयोग केवल शिकायतकर्ता वरिष्ठ वैज्ञानिको सबक सिखाने के उद्देश्य से किया गया था असलियत में समिति एक ढकोसला थी I

असलियत में  डा ऐ के सक्सेना निदेशक , डी एम एस  आर डी ई  लैब ,कानपुर द्वारा की गयी खरीदारियों में  अनियमताओं के ढेर सारे सबूत उपलब्ध है जिनका कि कोई जबाब नहीं है I और डी आर डी ओ के भ्रष्ट अधिकारी, डा ऐ के सक्सेना को बचानें  की बेकार कवायद कर रहे है I  वे भूल रहे है कि अबकी सरकार भ्रष्टाचार को कतई बर्दाश्त नहीं करेगी I

फ्यूम हुड केस के सप्लाई आर्डर को  निरस्त कर दिया गया है I

 डा ऐ के सक्सेना के व् मंगलम ट्रेडर्स के ईमेल का कोई स्पस्टीकरण नहीं है I

अतः उपरोक्त तथ्यों से साबित होता है कि एक  ओर जंहा शिकायतकर्ता वरिष्ठ वैज्ञानिको  का उत्पीड़ित करना डीआरडीओ का मकसद था  वंही दूसरी ओर  डीआरडीओ एक के बाद दूसरी  फैक्ट फाइंडिंग इन्क्वायरी समिति बना कर टाइम पास कर रही है

अतःआपसेअनुरोध है कि डी आर डी ओ में  चल रहे  इस भ्रष्टाचार के प्रति ढुलमुल रवैये पर   सख्ती से कार्यवाही  करेI

अमर उजाला ब्यूरो
कानपुर। डिफेंस रिसर्च एंड डेवलपमेंट (डीआरडीओ) की कानपुर स्थित प्रयोगशाला डीएमएसआरडीई को कैट ने क्लीन चिट दी है। कैट ने अपने फैसले में न सिर्फ डीएमएसआरडीई को क्लीन चिट दी है बल्कि फर्जी शिकायत करने वाले यहां के दो साइंटिस्ट के विरुद्ध अनुशासनात्मक कार्रवाई की सिफारिश भी की, जिस पर दोनों का तबादला कानपुर से बाहर कर दिया गया है।
डीएमएसआरडीई के दो साइंटिस्ट आरपी गुप्ता और आरपी भट्ट ने संस्थान में करोड़ों के केमिकल और पदार्थों की खरीद में घपले की शिकायत की थी। एक के बाद एक हुई इन शिकायतों को एक वेबसाइट के जरिए सार्वजनिक भी किया गया। डीआरडीओ ने इस वेबसाइट को बंद करवाने के तमाम प्रयास किए, मगर सर्वर अमेरिका में होने के चलते यह संभव नहीं हो सका है।
इधर इनके आरोपों पर डीआरडीओ ने हाई लेवल कमेटी से जांच आरंभ कराई। जांच रिपोर्ट में घपले की बात खारिज हो गई। इसके बाद दोनों वैज्ञानिकों के विरुद्ध अनुशासनात्मक कार्रवाई करते हुए तबादले कर दिए गए। इसमें आरपी भट्ट को नेवल फिजिकल एंड ओर्शनोग्राफिक लैब कोचीन और एमपी गुप्ता को डिफेंस लैब तेजपुर आसाम भेजा गया। तबादलों के पीछे भ्रष्टाचार का खुलासा करना वजह बताते हुए दोनों वैज्ञानिकों ने कैट में याचिका दायर कर दी। यहां सुनवाई के दौरान डीआरडीओ से कमेटी की रिपोर्ट सौंपने के निर्देश दिए गए। रिपोर्ट गोपनीय होने के चलते उसका सारांश कैट में दाखिल किया गया। इसके अलावा अन्य दस्तावेज भी दाखिल किए गए। कैट ने दोनों पक्षों को सुनने के बाद कार्रवाई को सही ठहराया। इस फैसले से असंतुष्ट वैज्ञानिकों ने हाईकोर्ट में भी याचिका दायर की, लेकिन वहां भी कड़ी फटकार के साथ नई तैनाती में ज्वाइन करने के निर्देश दिए गए हैं। आरपी भट्ट ने कोचीन ज्वाइन कर लिया है, मगर एमपी गुप्ता ने फिलहाल नई तैनाती नहीं स्वीकारी है।
दो साइंटिस्टों की याचिका पर सेंट्रल एडमिनिस्ट्रेटिव ट्रिब्युनल (कैट) ने की सुनवाई
जांच के दौरान शिकायत गलत निकली, दोनों साइंटिस्टों पर तबादले की कार्रवाई
डीआरडीओ की इंटरनल इनक्वायरी में सारी शिकायतें फर्जी पाई गई हैं। पूरा घटनाक्रम संस्थान को बदनाम करने की साजिश मात्र था, जिसका पर्दाफाश हो चुका है। दोनों वैज्ञानिकों का तबादला कर दिया गया है। कैट में भी जांच रिपोर्ट का सारांश प्रस्तुत किया गया है, जिसमें कार्रवाई को सही ठहराया गया है।

dna exclusive: Scientist sues DRDO chief Avinash Chander for defamation

Pradip R Sagar

Monday, 7 July 2014 – 10:07am IST | Place: New Delhi | Agency: DNA

A senior scientist in the country’s premier defence research organisation DRDO, who has highlighted various irregularities and malpractices in the organisation, has served legal notice to the DRDO chief Avinash Chander for allegedly defaming him for taking a stand against corruption.avinashchander

Navin Prakash Gupta, a computer scientist working the Kanpur-based laboratory of DRDO, last month was transferred from Kanpur to Tezpur following his series of complaints to Central Vigilance Commission and the defence minister highlighting various irregularities in the department.

Following the transfer order, Gupta moved the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) for seeking stay on his transfer orders. In reply to his petition in CAT, the DRDO said, “Scientist NP Gupta has been vitiating the atmosphere in DMSRDE through his irresponsible behaviour and undesirable activities.”

Denying this, Gupta told dna over phone from Kanpur, “The allegation is full of imputation. There is no enquiry against me. Even no show cause notice was served to me in my entire career of 21 years. I am being harassed because I raised voice against corruption.” Gupta claimed that his transfer is laced with vengeance and motivated. Gupta has made at least 12 complaints to the corruption watchdog CVC including irregularities in procurement of chemicals and fabrics in the Kanpur-based DMSRDE (Defence Materials and Stores Research and Development Establishment (DMSRDE) laboratory. And CVC is conducting probe into his allegations and forwarded to the ministry of defence for detailed inquiry. “I have written about large scale malpractices and irregularities in procurement for the laboratory. Besides irregularities in procurements, top officials of the laboratory were giving out construction contracts worth lakhs of rupees to private vendors and individuals with aim to benefit them by violating all rules and regulations,” Gupta added.

When contacted Drdo spokesperson claimed that conduct of Gupta was not upto the mark over the years. “I could only say that conduct of Navin Gupta was not in order. Beyond this, we do not want to comment on the issue as it is pending in the court,” DRDO official said.

Meanwhile, Navin Gupta has decided to file a criminal defamation case against DRDO chief and head of directorate of personnel Dr AK Singh. “They have not replied to my notice. And now I’m going to file a criminal defamation case on them,” Gupta added.

His key complaints:
Irregularities in Rs 2 crore procurement of chemicals for DMSRDE
Irregularities in Rs 1.5 crore procurement of Dyneema Fabric
Irregularities Rs 46 lakh DMSRDE fume hood procurement
Rs 15 lakh procurement of scientific and technical books
Rs 2 crore procurement of of polydimathylsilane for Kanpur lab
Corruption in procurement of anti-virus of around Rs 4 lakh

Campus Recruitment by PS Banks Now Unconstitutional – What About Illegality Already Committed ?

Leave a comment

campus selection letterby – Danendra Jain <dkjain49709@gmail.com>AllBankingSolutions.com

This refers to Mumbai High court judgement pronounced in a case related to Central Bank of India . The Bombay high court has held that its ( bank’s ) recruitment policy, which allows campus recruitment/interview method for appointment of officers against permanent vacancies on regular basis, was illegal and unconstitutional.

Bank management of almost all public sector banks has resorted to campus hiring, not only in scale I but in scale II and scale III too. During last ten years top ranked officers of almost all banks have functioned in an arbitrary manner, recruited persons of their choice, giving favours to kith and kins of high profile persons and denying the talented unemployed youth. Recruitment of persons for some personal gain or to give favour to sons and daughters of known dignitaries has damaged work culture in banks and adversely affected the asset quality of almost all banks.

Top management in public sector banks picked up persons from campus of their choice and in the name of merit they raped those who have been working in the bank for years and decades. Not only in recruitment have they harmed the future of those existing employees who were waiting for promotion to higher cadre and higher scale. There are instances where bank management recruited officer directly in scale III whereas hundreds and thousands of officers eligible for promotion to scale III are denied their rights.

Further due to their arbitrary and unjustified recruitment of officers from campus in scale III or scale II management of bank had to pay double salary or more for the same work which could be and which hitherto has been performed by junior officers and clerks.

Is there anyone who can punish such top ranked officers whose faulty action caused huge loss to the bank??

Why these responsible and top ranked officers should not be personally punished and taken to task so that in near future no one dares violating the rights of existing employees and denying the opportunity to really talented youths.

I am unable to understand why the courts have simply warned the bank to desist from campus hiring in future and why not court thought it necessary to impose penalty of erring top officials.

In response to court verdict against Central bank and its clear warning to bank not to repeat such campus hiring, Government of India should order CBI inquiry into all recruitment which took place during last ten years in public sector banks through campus hiring and whether those officers are really better than already working officers in banks and whether there was any corrupt dealing in such type of recruitment.

  2. CVC has informed me vide his various letter & sms that my all 12 complaints have been forwarded to CVO, Ministry of Defence but till date no action has been taken against Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena. Copies of letters from CVC are annexed as Annexure-2.
  3. Since copies of all these complaints were also sent to Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO and Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri but till date no action has been taken against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena by Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO.
  4. The two statutory rules viz CCS (Conducts) Rule 1964 and CCS (CCA) Rules 1965 have been framed by Government of India for maintaining good conduct and discipline. Under Rule 14, Government of India Order on “Inquiry Officers to be senior in rank to the officers enquired against” it is mandatory that inquiry officer –Chairman as well as all members Inquiry Committee should be one  rank senior to the officer whose conduct is being inquired into. This principle has been reiterated in CVC Vigilance Manual, Railway Manual, CPWD Manual and all other DOPT Manuals.
  5. Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO and Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri is giving patronage to corrupt practices of Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena and promoting corrupt officers in the organisation. One simple example of patronage to Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena by Shri Avinash Chander, DG R&D, DRDO is to constitute an illegal Fact Finding Committee in Jan-Feb 2014 for inquiring complaints against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena. In this committee Shri SS Negi, Scientist ‘H’ was Chairman and Mr. Manoj Bali, Scientist ‘G’ and Shri Jagdeep, Scientist ‘F’ was members. This Committee was totally illegal as Chairman was of equivalent rank and two members of FFC were very junior to Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena. This establishes that Shri Avinash Chander, DG R&D, DRDO wilfully constituted an illegal committee for giving patronage & protection to corruption in DMSRDE, Kanpur by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena. Intentions of Shri Avinash Chander, DGR&D, DRDO is very open to protect corrupt officer Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena by any means.
  6. This Fact Finding Committee took only one complaint out of my several complaints and gave false report despite FFC did not interact with me and all proofs were submitted along with complaints. That complaint was regarding procurement of ‘REACTOR’. The said REACTOR was procured by DMSRDE in 2012 and REACTOR was supplied to DMSRDE in January 2013. Till date payment of said REACTOR has not been made to the vendor.
  7. In light of the above, in the interest of organisation, I kindly request you to take appropriate action against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE   and issue directives to CVO (MOD) to speed up the investigation on my complaints.

With kind regards,

Arjun scientist probed by CBI

Leave a comment

Jul 04, 2014 – PRAMOD KUMAR | New Delhi – The Asian Age
The CBI is investigating graft allegations against a senior scientist associated with the Combat Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE Chennai) of the ministry of defence (MoD). The scientist under the scanner was part of a project on the production of India’s main battle tank, Arjun, sources said.
Sources in the agency said, “Initial investigations by the CBI have revealed that the scientist allegedly took a bribe from a private firm for giving a satisfactory report to a company which was developing assembly forged steel track links for the battle tank Arjun during an inspection in 2012.”
The suspected firm was given supply orders by the Defence Ordnance Factory for developing steel track links for the battle tank, they said. Arjun is a third-generation main battle tank developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for the Indian Army. It features a 120-mm main rifled gun, one 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun and a 12.7 mm machine gun.
The agency recently registered a preliminary enquiry to probe the allegation against the scientist.
“The agency will soon seek clarifications from the scientist as well as the suspected firm. The agency will also seek clarifications from certain senior officials of the MoD,” sources said.
“If the CBI finds incriminating evidence during the inquiry, it would register a regular case into the matter. Without registering a regular case, the agency does not have the power to call anybody to the CBI headquarters for recording the statement. If the agency decides to convert the PE into a regular case, only then can the CBI send summons to the people. At this point of time, the CBI can only seek clarifications from them,” sources said.
The CBI is also preparing to take assistance of former MoD officials in this case. “Former MoD officials associated with the project may be quizzed to understand the issues related to the case. Besides, the CBI may take the assistance of ordnance factory officials,” sources said.

Arjun tank: CBI probes scientist for taking bribe

Leave a comment

Abhishek Sharan, Hindustan Times New Delhi, July 04, 2014
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has begun a criminal misconduct probe against a senior scientist who was part of a team involved in the development of India’s indigenous main battle tank Arjun, for allegedly seeking and accepting Rs. 1.5 lakh from a machinery supplier.

The agency has lodged a Preliminary Enquiry (PE), according to which the Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE) scientist allegedly took the money in September 2012 from the consultant of a private firm supplying a tank component — steel track links— to approve its quality after its inspection by him, said a CBI source.

“The firm had bagged the supply order from the Defence Ordinance Factory for developing assembly-forged steel track links. After the product was ready, the scientist was called for inspection,” said the source. The scientist allegedly asked for a bribe of Rs. 1.5 lakh to “give a satisfactory report”. The source said, “The scientist accepted the bribe, which amounted to criminal misconduct.”

On being contacted, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)’s spokesperson Ravi Gupta said, “ Let the law take its own course. Let the truth come out.”
