SUBJECT: CORRUPTION IN PROCUREMENT OF STORE ITEMS FOR TRANSIT GUEST FACILITY AT TAWANG, BY DR. RKR SINGH, TECHNICAL, OFFICER ‘C’ AND DR. VIJAY VEER , DIRECTOR, DRL, TEZPUR , DRDO, MINISTRY OF DEFENCE.

  1. Through the note sheet dated 26.09.2013, Dr. Vijay Veer approved the procurement of some items but surprisingly the amount of procurement items for which approval was sanctioned not mentioned and mode of purchase was not mentioned. Which is essential for the approving the financial sanction by CFA under Purchase Management 2006 of DRDO.
  2. A note sheet dated 26.09.2013 was initiated by Dr. RKR Singh, Technical Officer ‘C’ , OI/C , DRL Detachment(Dett.), Tawang to Director & CFA DRL Tezpur. The said note sheet was approved by Dr. Vijay Veer, Director and CFA on 26.09.2013. Copy of the note sheet is annexed as Annexure No. -1.
  3. This case is regarding false procurement of furniture (bed), Blanket and mattress by submission of improper  bills.
  4. He is involved in various kinds of financial irregularities and misappropriation of public funds by making fake procurement with help of his favourite very junior officers at DRL, Tezpur.
  5. Vijay Veer, Scientist ‘G’ taken over as Director, DRL, Tezpur w.e.f. 01st March 2012. As per DRDO legacy Dr. Vijay Veer start running DRL, DRDO, Tezpur violating all laid down rules of GOI. His superannuating on 31 December 2015.
  6. Defence Research Laboratory (DRL), Tezpur (Assam) is an establishment of Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Ministry of Defence, DRDO Bhawan, New Delhi.
  7. The Indents were initiated under cash purchase in Performa DRDO.MM.09 (Prescribed Performa for Cash Purchase under Purchase Management 2006). All these indents were initiated and countersigned by Dr. RKR Singh, himself as OI/C, DRL Dett. Tawang, HOD, High Altitude Division and finally approved by Dr. Vijay Veer, Director and CFA on 10.10.2013. Copies of all three cash purchase demands (indents) are annexed as Annexure No. – 2A, 2B & 2C. The summary of said procurement is given below.RKR case tableRKR case table
  8. The Receipt, Issue & Expenditure Boucher No. CRV/100 dated 19.11.2013 is attached as Annexure No. – 3.
  9. Copies of bills submitted by Dr. RKR Singh for said procurement under cash purchase are annexed as Annexure No. – 4.GROUNDS
  10. It is quite evident from facts & documents attached above those three demands were initiated by Dr. RKR Singh, Technical Officer ‘C’ both as Indenter & HOD. These demands were raised on 09.2013, 07.10.2013 and 07.10.2013 respectively.
  11. These demands get financial sanction from Accounts Officer, Store Office, OI/C Planning & Coordination and Director/CFA on 10.2013.
  12. Items not came in DRL premises, no entry of item at Security Gate is available, no physical verification of items purchased which is quite evident as Wooden Bed were purchased at Tawang which 350 kms away from Tezpur.
  13. Surprisingly the bill submitted by Dr. RKR Singh, Technical Officer ‘C’ is of dates 09.10.2013, 01.10.2013 and 09.10.2013, which are prior to the date of sanction/approval by Director/CFA. Such practices are not permissible under Purchase Management 2006.
  14. This establishes that the items were procured even before sanction/approval by CFA and without withdrawing Cash Section of Finance Division or Cash Purchase Officer.
  15. Since procurement was not visible so improper bills were submitted as without getting fund from Finance Division of DRL, Tezpur, then from which money Dr. RKR Singh purchased the said items for which he submitted false bills.
  16. On perusal of items it establishes the items were purchased for creation of Temporary Transit Facility in the already available structure at DRL, Dett. Centre, Tawang. There was no exigency in the matter as Tawang is 350 kms away from Tezpur and none of the official visiting there regularly. The said items should be purchased after due sanction and approval of CFA and withdrawal of fund from Finance Division of DRL, Tezpur.
  17. The DRL Dett. Centre, Tawang is at 350 km from Tezpur and there is no permanent/temporary/prefabricated structure at site of DRL Dett. Centre, Tawang. Only two teen shades of small size are there and one garage. Even the toilets, bathroom and boundary are not there on site of DRL, Dett. Centre, Tawang. Copies of recent photographs of DRL Dett. Centre site are annexed
  18. It is self explanatory from these photographs of DRL Dett. site that there is no Temporary Transit Facility existing in DRL Dett. Centre, Tawang. Even there is no boundary wall and kitchen etc then how any official of DRL, Tezpur can can stay there.
  19. Two employees Mr. N. Tashi, Security Attendant ‘A’ and Mr. L. Rinchin, Security Attendant ‘A’ who originally hails from living at Tawang unauthorizedly without any Posting Order (DO-I) or Movement Order  for Temporary Duty.This establishes whole conspiracy for misappropriation of fund by Dr. RKR Singh and Dr. Vijay Veer by submitting false demands, false bills and misappropriation of Rs. 24533.00 without purchasing any item.

    However, the amount of public fund is small but it establishes doubtful integrity of Dr. Vijay Veer, Director, DRL, Tezpur and Dr. RKR Singh, Technical Officer ‘C’. It warrants disciplinary action against both of them under CCS (CCA) Rules 1965 and Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

SUBJECT:  Sh Avinash Chander is not interested to take any action on DMSRDE corruption cases.

Sir,

I would like to draw your kind attention towards corruption in tunes of crores at Defence Materials & Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur, an establishment under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Ministry of Defence, Government of India.

Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena was appointed as Scientist ‘C’ on 28.04.1984 in DMSRDE, Kanpur and since then he is continuously posted at DMSRDE, Kanpur since last 30 years. He has not been transferred even for a day from Kanpur and since the date of his posting he is working at Kanpur.  The roots of the Dr. Saxena while working at DMSRDE, Kanpur has become so deep that he was involved in various activities involving the financial & other administrative irregularities.

Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Scientist ‘G’ was appointed as Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur wef 01 January 2011. In spite of the fact that he has been involved in various financial and administrative irregularities , Dr. Saxena was  promoted to the rank of Scientist ‘H’ wef 02 August 2012 and since then he is  holding the rank of Scientist ‘H’ and working as Director, DMSRDE.

The right from his appointment as Director, he was involved in various kinds of administrative & financial irregularities that lead corruption in tunes of crores. Several complaints were made against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena to then Defence Minister by some scientists of DMSRDE.

Being a RTI activist and social worker running a website corruptionindrdo.com to expose the corruption in DRDO, also made as far as 12 complaints regarding corruption in procurements of various instruments & materials etc in DMSRDE by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE to CVC, Hon’ble Defence Minister and DGR&D, DRDO. These complaints were filed during 29 Nov 2013 to 11 June 2014. Total cost of store items procured against which complaints were filed is about Rs. 7.5 crore. A complete list of complaints filed by me to CVC and Hon’ble Defence Minister is annexed as Annexure No. -1.

All the aforesaid complaints made have been endorsed by Central Vigilance Commission (CVC). CVC has taken cognizance of aforesaid complaints and registered on prima facia.  These complaints have been forwarded to Chief Vigilance Office (CVO), Ministry of Defence for further enquiry/investigation of the aforesaid complaints. Under the provisions of RTI Act 2005 the CPIO, CVC vide letter no. CVC/RTI/13/1862/241925 dated 18.03.2014 informed to me that his complaints have been forwarded to CVO (MOD) for investigation.

Under RTI Act, CPIO, CVO MOD informed that all complaints have been forwarded to Director, Vigilance & Security, DRDO for further inquiry and asked the consolidated report from DRDO vide their letter dated 04 August 2014.

Meantime, A FFIC was constituted by Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO to inquire the complaints against Dr. Saxena. The Fact Finding Inquiry Committee visited DMSRDE, Kanpur on 13th – 14th, March 2014 for inquiry on the complaint submitted against Dr. Saxena. The said committee submitted its report to Shri Avinash Chander but no action taken by DRDO against Dr. Saxena, Director.

It is very surprising and interesting that Shri Avinash Chander again set up another four members Fact Finding Inquiry Committee  under chairmanship of Dr. D.C. Pandey, Scientist ‘H’ LRDE and three members Sri Hari Babu Srivastava, Scientist ‘G’, Director, LASTECH, Sri Jagdeep, Scientist ‘F’ and Sri R.S. Mehta, Joint Director. The said committee visited DMSRDE, Kanpur recently on 9-10 July 2014. Therefore constitution of two FFIC by Shri Avinash Chander establishes that there were complaints against Dr. Saxena but to give him patronage and support the Shri Avinash Chander set up illegal FFIC. This second FFIC also submitted its report to Shri Avinash Chander but still no action against Dr. A.K Saxena took place by DRDO.

Interestingly, 31st October in the eve of Vigilance week, Sh. R.S. Mehta, Joint Director, Vigilance, DRDO in his address mentioned to audience that how the corrupt practices adopted by Director, DMSRDE and his team in procurement cases.

Sir, it is not understandable that why Shri Avinash Chander constituted two fact finding committees? Why DRDO is silent on corruption cases of DMSRDE, Kanpur? Why Shri Avinash Chander is protecting Dr. A.K. Saxena?

In light of the above mentioned facts, it is requested that speedy action needed to save precious funds of poor tax payers. Dr A K Saxena openly using same corrupt practices in ongoing procurements cases. He told to his beloved team that Dr. V Bhujanga Rao, DG,NS&IC directed that left Rs 13 crores should be spend up to 31st March 2015 positively.
