Defence Minister AK Antony has recommended a CBI probe into an alleged recruitment scam in Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) where some senior officers — including two of its former chiefs — violated rules while giving jobs to their kin in violation of rules. The CBI probe was recommended after the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) favoured action against officials.

The Defence Minister recommended the CBI probe into the recruitment scam after the vigilance wing of the Ministry carried out a probe for more than a year after the allegations surfaced, officials said here on Sunday. The DRDO officials under the scanner included two former chiefs and a former Chief Controller of the organisation.

Recently, a Director-rank officer of the DRDO was probed for his alleged role in an appointment made against the laid down procedures and was suspended hours before his retirement from service in May. The official, a senior scientist, was suspended by the department as an inquiry was pending against him in a recruitment-related case where he allegedly recruited his own daughter in the organisation.

The matter had come to light after the CVC recommended action against two DRDO officials for their alleged role in the case. The suspended official was allegedly involved in promotion and selection of scientists in the organisation.

The Defence Minister has recommended a CBI probe into the alleged recruitment scam in which two former DRDO chiefs and a former Chief Controller of the organisation are under scanner for allegedly giving jobs to their kins in alleged violation of rules and regulations, sources said here today.

The vigilance wing of the Defence Ministry had been investigating the alleged wrongdoings in recruitment in the premier defence research agency for over a year.

Recently, a Director-rank officer of the DRDO was under scanner for his alleged role in an appointment made against the laid down procedures and was suspended hours before his retirement from service in May.

The official, a senior scientist, was suspended by the department as an inquiry was pending against him in a recruitment-related case where he allegedly recruited his own daughter in the organisation.

नई दिल्ली। रक्षा मंत्री एके एंटनी ने रक्षा अनुसंधान विकास संगठन (डीआरडीओ) में हुए भर्ती घोटाले की सीबीआइ से जांच कराने की सिफारिश की है। इस घोटाले में डीआरडीओ के दो पूर्व प्रमुखों समेत कई अधिकारी जांच के घेरे में हैं। केंद्रीय सतर्कता आयोग (सीवीसी) ने इस घोटाले का पर्दाफाश किया था और डीआरडीओ के दो पूर्व प्रमुखों के अलावा संगठन के चीफ कंट्रोलर के खिलाफ जांच की सिफारिश की थी।

मामला सामने आने के बाद रक्षा मंत्रालय का सर्तकता विभाग पिछले एक साल से इसकी जांच कर रहा था। आरोप है कि नियमों को ताक पर रखकर डीआरडीओ में शीर्ष पदों पर बैठे लोगों के रिश्तेदारों को नौकरी दी गई। इस साल मई में निर्धारित प्रक्रिया पूरी किए बिना की गई नियुक्ति के लिए डीआरडीओ के निदेशक रैंक के एक अधिकारी को उनकी सेवानिवृत्ति से महज कुछ घंटे पहले निलंबित कर दिया गया था।

भर्ती घोटाले में डीआरडीओ के शीर्ष अधिकारियों के अलावा अन्य अधिकारी भी जांच दायरे में हैं। खुद की बेटी की भर्ती को लेकर एक वैज्ञानिक को भी निलंबित किया जा चुका है। संगठन में वैज्ञानिकों की नियुक्ति और पदोन्नति देखने वाले एक अधिकारी को भी निलंबित कर दिया गया है।

2.     Nature of information sought is not  related to strategic/national security/scientific /technical matters

Information sought is related to “Parking”. This type of information has already been allowed by CIC as information sought is not pertaining to strategic/national security/scientific/technical matters.

3.     Information sought is related to Estt. Matter/General Routine nature is permissible & allowed by CIC, even after the fact “DRDO is notified organisation under Schedule II”, in various decisions against DRDO.

4.     Information sought is also related to allegations of Corruption as already mentioned in RTI application dated 04 October 2013. Information sought is having angle of vigilance as per CVC Act. Under the provisions of Section 24(1) of the Act, the information should be pertaining to allegations of Corruption only. No evidences or proofs of corruption are required for seeking information related to corruption as per RTI Act 2005. Instead the onus is on CPIO to establish that information sought is not having vigilance angle and pertaining to allegation of corruption. In case the prima facie evidences of Corruption are available the appellant will approach to CVC/CBI not file RTI to get information pertaining to allegations of Corruption?

                  i.        It is alleged that Dr. AK Saxena, Director, DMSRDE misused his powers to construct/erect the parking shade near CSD Canteen. It has been accepted by Director, DMSRDE vide Minute Sheet No.  AE/Gen Admin/13/0578 dated 26 September 2013 issued by Dr. D.N. Tripathi, Addl. Director (Admin).  Vide this order “all officers & employees of DMSRDE were ordered to park their vehicles in parking area/shades near CSD Canteen with effect from 01 October 2013”. Again Chief Security Officer issued ION dated 03.10.2013 on behalf of Director regarding Car-Parking near Admin. Building. Again an ION was issued by Dr. DN Tripathi, Addl. Director(Admin) regarding parking area near CSD Canteen.

                ii.        This parking shade/vehicle stand was not constructed by MES or CCE (R&D) North. It was constructed by Director, DMSRDE using private contractor of his favor M/s Gupta Constructions, Gandhi Gram, Kanpur. Thereby CPIO provided false information vides his letter dated 29 October 2013.

              iii.        MES(Military Engineering Services) and CCE(R&D) are the only agencies authorize for any construction of buildings , to execute minor & major work in buildings, construction /erect of shades/parking area etc. in Technical & Residential area of DMSRDE.

               iv.        The source of fund used to erect two shades was from one project fund and not from build-up fund. Project fund cannot be used for construction work. Hence Dr. AK Saxena, Director misused his powers to illegal and unauthorized construction of two parking shades near CSD Canteen inside the Technical Area of DMSRDE, to give undue advantage to M/s Gupta Construction, Gandhi Gram, Kanpur with vested interest.

                 v.        All supply orders for purchase of material used to erect the parking shades were issued to M/s Gupta Constructions who is neighbor to Dr. AK Saxena residence at Gandhi Gram, Kanpur.

               vi.        Misuse of powers for personal gains, unauthorized construction and misuse of funds is clear case of Corruption. Documents are available in records with DMSRDE which can be verified by FAA.

             vii.        It is quite evident from Minute Sheet No. AE/Gen Admin/13/0578 dated 26 September 2013 that there exists building of CSD Canteen in DMSRDE near newly constructed parking area/shade.

            viii.        The nomenclature of building in which CSD canteen is running is CHEM STORE, as per MES record. Director, DMSRDE is using this building in unauthorized manner to run CSD Canteen in this building. CSD Canteen is a profitable URC under CSD hence it should pay rent as well as electrical charges to MES. In this connection MES also issued notice to CSD Canteen for payment of electrical charges and recently cut down the power of CSD  for fifteen days, thereby CSD was closed for about fifteen days.

               ix.        Information sought is related to “Parking”. This information is not related to any scientific/technical/strategic matter. Therefore information related to contract, supply order, purchase, construction and manufacturing etc. is disclosable under RTI Act, CIC decisions mentioned above and even by FAA, DRDO.

8.   Declaration:-

I hereby state that the information and particulars given above are true to the best of my knowledge and belief.
