Corruption in Procurement of Universal Testing Machine (UTM ) at DMSRDE,DRDO, Kanpur by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director.

SUBJECT: Corruption in Procurement of Universal Testing Machine                                   (UTM) at DMSRDE,DRDO, Kanpur by Dr. Arvind Kumar                                     Saxena, Director.

Sir,

DRDO corruption is challenge for your new government; continue constructions without utilizing the existing infrastructure and unnecessary procurement of systems/equipments without justification of needs are the common mechanisms of DRDO officials for minting money.

DRDO Directors are above the all constitution provisions like Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur still continue the corrupt practices on last leg of his service, despite several complaints (12 complaints) at CVC and Defence Minister, DG, DRDO etc.

DG, DRDO made two fact finding committees and it seems that those committees were managed by Dr. A.K. Saxena.

CAG make observation about corrupt practices at DMSRDE in its Report No. 24 (2011-2012)

Dr.  A.K. Saxena several highly costly equipment and instruments have been purchased and some are under procurement process having no utility in any project and scientific activity in DMSRDE. Method of Repeat Order is being mis-utilised for getting fatty commission from vendors of his choice.

Further regarding these irregularities at DMSRDE, Kanpur, The Comptroller & Accounts General (CAG) in its report No. 24 of 2011-12 (Defence Services) Chapter 6-DRDO Para 6.2 – Procurement/receipt of equipment after the closure or at the fag end of a project mentioned that “Defence Materials and Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE) procured equipment worth 1.52 crore after technical completion of the project or at the fag end of a project. The project was completed with the facilities available in DMSRDE and other Labs implying that the procurement was avoidable”.  

Corruption is criminal offence under Prevention of Corruption Act 1988, Indian Penal Code and CCS (Conducts) Rules 1964. On issues of Corruption the anti-corruption establishments like CVC, CBI, CVO & Ministries should be more serious as Corruption is crime against Government not against any individual. Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It is like rust that weakens the foundation of the Government System. Corruption is a termite to society and present in every system.

The Hon’ble Supreme Court said in its judgment dated 02 January 2013. Quoted here from judgment passed by a bench of justices B S Chauhan and F M Ibrahim Kalifulla in Civil Appeal Nos. 8814-8815 of 2012 the court said “Corruption in a civilised society is a disease like cancer, which if not detected in time, is sure to spread its malignancy among the polity of the country, leading to disastrous consequences,”.

Government is having policy of “Zero Tolerance for Corruption” as stated in DO letter No. 11017/04/2010-AIS-III dated March 3, 2010 which clearly states in para (3) that “The issue of corruption needs to be addressed fairly and squarely. The Government’s policy of zero tolerance for corruption must be implemented fully and effectively. Preventive vigilance should be strengthened. Transparency must be introduced in decision making and in all our systems. Stringent action must be taken against officers found guilty. Disciplinary proceedings must be expedited“.

Corruption is authority plus monopoly minus transparency. Despite my 12 complaints on corruption costing about 7.5 crores , no action has been taken against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur by CVC, CVO MOD and Director, Vigilance & Security (CVO), DRDO HQ and Ministry of Defence.

This attitude of anti-corruption agencies towards Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena encourages him upto the extent that he again started corrupt practices in procurement at DMSRDE, Kanpur.

It is very relevant to mention here that based on my compliant to CVC on the subject “Complaint to CVC – DMSRDE FUME HOOD Procurement Case” dated 22 Jan 2014 costing Rs 45,76,005.00 the supply order was cancelled by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena and till date Fume Hoods were not purchased in DMSRDE as there was no requirement of the said item. Fume Hoods were procured from China and these Fume Hoods are still lying at Airport, New Delhi. Based on my complaint in said case the public money of Rs. 46 Lacs was saved as Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena , Director, DMSRDE was procuring the said item on 300% high prices and getting about Rs 25 Lac as commission. The Million Dollar Question is that if there was no corruption in procurement of fume Hood then why the said Supply Order was cancelled?

On the same line a case was again indented on orders of Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena in DMSRDE, Kanpur for procurement of UTM with following details.

UTM purchase details
UTM purchase details

The same instrument was again procured by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena who being Competent Financial Authority (CFA) gave sanction the procurement through Rubber & Adhesive Division in the year 2014 under Repeat Order. The supply order (Repeat Order) was placed to Pal Enterprises in Jan-Feb 2015 for the same item Precision UTM for Ceramic Composite (Tech. Spec. Attached) as stated above .

The following irregularities, violation of the Purchase Management 2006 (Purchase Manual of DRDO (PM 2006), criminal conspiracy and corruption establish in procurement of two UTM in DMSRDE, Kanpur on following grounds.

  1. The item supplied by Pal Enterprises was of INSTRON make which is OEM of the said UTM purchased at DMSRDE. INSTRON (an ITW company) is a Massachusetts based manufacturer of test equipment designed to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials and components, such as Universal Testing Machines (UTM). INSTRON is having its subsidiary in India known as INSTRON INDIA PVT. LTD., 3-C, P.M. TOWER, 37, GREAMS ROAD, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
  2. Tender inquiry under Limited Tendering was not given to INSTRON India despite it was representative/Subsidiary of OEM in India.
  3. M/s Pal Enterprises, New Delhi was registered in DMSRDE on 30 July 2013 in category of Glassware & Hardware under 20 Lac capacities. Case was initiated on 13 August 2013 and this vendor was given tender inquiry on 04 September 2013 for Scientific Instrument costing Rs. 48,37,500.00 despite this vendor not supplied in category of Scientific Instruments and even not supplied any single item in DMSRDE.
  4. R.K. Jain, Scientist E’ was appointed as Chairman, Committee for Registration of Vendors in DMSRDE vide DO No. 10/AD dated 17.01.2013 with gross violation of PM 2006 as Chairman should be of rank Scientist ‘F’ or above.He registered Pal Enterprises on 30 July 2013 in capacity of 20 L under category Glassware and Hardware with registration number DMSRDE 013/02C/42 – 20L.
  5. The case of Precision UTM for Ceramic Composite was indented by Dr. Suresh Kumar, Scientist ‘E’ with demand No. DMSRDE/14ACD013 dated 13 Aug 2013 and demand cost was 45 Lakh .
  6. The case was processed under Limited Tender, although the cost of item was Rs. 45 Lakh and as per Purchase Management 2006 of DRDO, the case should be processed under open tender/Global Tender.
  7. The tender enquiry was send to Pal Enterprises and its dummy firms despite Pal Enterprises were registered in category Glassware and Hardware under capacity of 20Lakh.
  8. In Dec 2013-Jan 2014, for procurement of another case of Tensile Tester (UTM) from FFIT Division, Global Tender was published in News Papers for demand No. DMSRDE/TEX053 with estimated cost Rs. 49 Lac. Copy of advertisement for procurement under Global Tender is enclosed.
  9. It clearly establish conspiracy that to procure the UTM under Limited Tender was corruption and placing the Repeat Order establish splitting of the cases as there was demand of two UTM then these should be purchased in single case but since Director Financial powers is limited upto 50 Lac and total of 02 UTM were about 97 Lac which was beyond the Director Financial Limit so bring the case within Director limit the case was spitted in two parts. One UTM was procured through Limited Tender while other through Repeat Order by pet vendor of Dr. A.K. Saxena, M/s Pal Enterprises, New Delhi.
  10. Pal Enterprises is registered at Department of Trade & Taxes, Government of NCT, New Delhi with TIN No. 07700196997. Details are enclosed.
  11. The detailed documents like Supply Order, Receipt & Inspection Note (RIN) and specification of the Precision UTM for Ceramic Composite purchased in Applied Chemistry Division are enclosed
  12. CLAUSE 7.29(b) REPEAT ORDERS of PM 2006- “The repeat order is not placed to split the requirement to avoid sanction of the next higher CFA” was grossly violated as the purpose to place Repeat Order was to split the demands of two UTMs in two cases.
  13. The Financial Powers of Directors are sanctioned vide letter No. No. DRDO/DBFA/F A/83226/M/OI /2031 /D(R&D) dated 30 July 2010. Accordingly on page 5 of the letter it has been clearly mentioned that extent of financial powers delegated to Lab Director without concurrence of Finance is upto(i) Rs.50 Lakhs in each case Labs/Estts. On Open, Global or Limited Tender basis. (ii) Upto Rs 20 Lakhs in each case concurrence of on PAC basis. (iii) Up to Rs.2 Lakh in each case on Single Tender basis. Copy of the page (5) of the letter dated 3o July 2010 is enclosed.
  14. CENTRAL ANALYTICAL FACILTY DIVISION is exiting in DMSRDE where all costly scientific instruments and equipment are placed in centralised place to be used for the scientists of DMSRDE. Then why two UTMs costing about Rs. 97 Lakhs were purchased at DMSRDE.

This supply order has been issued on behalf of President of India, it clearly means that the Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur was involved in criminal misconduct and breach of trust against Government.

It is requested that issue orders for through investigation and corrective measures to stop mishandling of public funds by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur

SUBJECT
INVESTIGATION & INQUIRY OF COMPLAINTS OF CORRUPTION AGAINST DR. A.K. SAXENA, DIRECTOR, DMSRDE, KANPUR UNDER DRDO, MOD.

Sir,
I humbly submit 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 from past 30 years. He was never transferred from DMSRDE, 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 and administrative irregularities that leads corruption in DMSRDE.
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 and financial irregularities that lead corruption in tunes of crores. Several complaints were made against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena to then Defence Minister.
I am an RTI activist and social worker running a website corruptionindrdo.com to expose the corruption in DRDO. I also made as far as 12 complaints regarding corruption in procurements of various instruments, equipment and materials in DMSRDE by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE to Central Vigilance Commission, Hon’ble Defence Minister and DGR&D, DRDO. These complaints were filed by me 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 enclosed as Enclosure-1.
All the aforesaid complaints made by me 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. Letter enclosed as Enclosure-2.
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. Letter enclosed as Enclosure-3.
Meantime, a Fact Finding Inquiry Committee (FFIC) was constituted by Shri Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO to inquire the complaints against Dr. A.K. Saxena. The Fact Finding Inquiry Committee visited DMSRDE, Kanpur on 13th – 14th, March 2014 for inquiry on the complaints submitted against Dr. A.K. Saxena. The said committee submitted its report to Shri Avinash Chander but no action taken by DRDO against Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director.
Despite since long time all 12 complaints are still pending with Dte of Vigilance & Security (DVS), DRDO HQ, New Delhi and no action has been taken against Dr. A.K. Saxena.
Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE is going to retire on 31 July 2015 and only five months remain for his superannuation. To give safe passage to safely retire to Dr. A.K. even after making corruption in tunes of croresis totally against the Government policy of “Zero Tolerance for Corruption”.
Therefore to take speedy action in the corruption cases of DMSRDE registered by CVC and forwarded to CVO(MOD) , I kindly request to take appropriate action in the matter and provide the status of complaints.In case the appropriate action on complaints has been taken then kindly provide copy of inquiry report.

Dear friends,

Fight against corruption nepotism favouritism and clean the DRDO is the main goal of www.corruptionindrdo.com website and this mission website exposed the DMSRDE’s corruption and corrupt practices of Director Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena.

People of Kanpur along with DMSRDE’s officials witnessed the frustrations of Director Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena via print media where he tried to his best to destroy the reputation with his absurd words like the website involved in anti national activities and DRDO information is leaking to US and intelligence agencies after website and DRDO is not able to close the website because the hosting is from US blab la.

Corruption Cases of Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur

To                                                                                                        Date 5th July 2014                  
Hon’ble
Shri Arun Jaitly,
Defence Minister,

Subject: Corruption cases of  Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur

Sir,

Defence Materials and Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur is one of the establishments under Defence Research & Development Organisation. Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena was appointed as Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur with effect from 01 January 2011 and he is posted in DMSRDE, Kanpur since 28 April 1984. In past 30 years he developed deep connections with local vendors and after his appointment as Director since 01 Jan 2011, these pet vendors are playing major role in procurement of stores & items.

  1. As vigilant & patriot citizen of the country, I filed 12 complaints on issues of Corruption against Dr.  Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE to CVC and Hon’ble Defence Minister with proofs. Details of complaints on Corruption against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena is enclosed as Annexure-1.
  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,

(Prabhu Dandriyal)

  3. Mr. Shielendra Kumar, Scientist ‘E’ is heading three divisions in DMSRDE, Kanpur. These divisions are Material Management Group (MMG), Estate & Works Division and Paints & Coating Technology Division.

  4. Mr. Shielendra Kumar, Scientist ‘E’ made gross violation of DRDO Purchase Rules in issue of several illegal & unauthorized supply orders costing more than Rs. Twenty lakhs for cutting of grass/wild bushes/sarkanda, cutting/pruning & trimming of trees and unauthorized construction of Parking Shades in DMSRDE, Kanpur. He is also involved in unauthorized structural alteration in dedicated Government accommodation.
  5. DMSRDE, Kanpur is having 45 acres of defence land in which its Technical Area of DMSRDE has been constructed and lot of space near buildings, boundary walls etc is open and having more than 600 trees of various kind of wood including seesam, ukliptus, neem, sagaun etc.
  6. Supply Orders for cutting of grass/wild bushes/Sarkanda worth Rs.  3,86,998.00  By Shielendra Kumar, Scientist ‘E’ on orders of Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena

a.   No. 11026/1/D(Lands)/2000 Government of India, Ministry of Defence New Delhi, dated 31st August 2000, clearly lays guidelines for cutting of grass / Sarkanda in Defence lands. It says that commanding Officers (OC) / Head of the Establishments are authorized to remove/ cut/ dispose of grass/ sarkanda subject to the following conditions:-

    i.            The grass will always be cut in time to avoid any fire hazard etc.

    ii.            The OC will be personally accountable to ensure the cutting of grass in time/ safety of the Ammunition/ ordnance Depots.

  iii.            A Board of Officers will be convened by the concerned Station HQrs of the Ammunition Depot/Ordnance Depot for disposal of the grass/ sarkanda and a representative of the DEO concerned will also be included in the Board.

  iv.            The disposal of the grass cutting rights shall be by calling tenders and highest bidder will be allotted the contract.

 v.            At the onset of the grass cutting season, the Board of Officers will inspect the land and prepare the Minimum Reserve Price (MRP) of the grass to be cut/ removed.

  vi.            The MRP would be approved by the OC/ Head of the Establishment concerned in consultation with the DEO. However, in case of a difference of opinion, the final decision rests with the OC/Head of the Establishment.

  vii.            In case of receipt of bids lower than the MRP, the authority competent to accept the same would be the GOC-in-C of the Command in consultation with the Principal ·Director, DE, in respect of cases where the MRP exceeds Rs. 10,000/-. In the case of MRP of Rs. 10,000/- and below, the OC in consultation with the DEO would be competent to accept bids lower than MRP.

 viii.            The proceeds will be credited to the Central Treasury by the OC Ammunition Depot/ Ordnance Depot.

b.     Copy of Letter No. 11026/1/D(Lands)/2000 Government of India, Ministry of Defence New Delhi, dated 31st August 2000 is enclosed as Annexure-1. The same rule is quoted here for ready reference.

c.     The same rule applies to DRDO and is applied in letter spirit except for DMSRDE since 1st January 2011 when Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, a corrupt officer having scant respect of laid down rules and regulation took the charge as Director DMSRDE.  There is no provision of cutting grass/Sarkanda under DRDO’s Purchase Management 2006.  Gross irregularities, violation and criminal misconduct have been committed by Mr. Shielendra Kumar, Scientist ‘E’ and Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena in cutting of grass / sarkanda in DMSRDE. The major irregularities and violations of rules are given below.

               i.            The head of Establishment shall ensure that a Board of Officers is convened by the concerned Station HQrs for disposal of the grass/ sarkanda and a representative of the DEO concerned will also be included in the Board. No such Board of Officers with a representative of DEO has been ordered by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director DMSRDE.

             ii.            The disposal of the grass cutting rights shall be by calling tenders and highest bidder will be allotted the contract. No such exercise was done and instead Mr. Shielendra Kumar and Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena entered into a criminal conspiracy by inviting tenders for execution of this illegal work at the cost of exchequers money. Under normal circumstances the highest bidder would have been allotted the work and his money deposited in Central Treasury. The travesty of the matter is that instead of department gaining money has lost the same.

           iii.            The rules clearly say that at the onset of the grass cutting season, the Board of Officers will inspect the land and prepare the Minimum Reserve Price (MRP) of the grass to be cut/ removed.  Both in the calendar year 2012 and 2013 Mr. Shielendra Kumar and Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena have split the demand.

d.     Details of illegal Supply Orders and execution of unauthorized work regarding Cutting/Cleaning of dense grass and Sarkanda by Mr. Shielendra Kumar and Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena under a criminal conspiracy is as mentioned below: cvc sarkanda table1

e.    Copies of supply orders for demands no. DMSRDE/13WKS007 dated 17 May 2012, DMSRDE/13WKS014 dated 08 June 2012, DMSRDE/13WKS038 dated 05 Nov 2012 and DMSRDE/14WKS021 23 Sep 2013 are enclosed as Annexure-2 , Annexure-3, Annexure-4 & Annexure-5.

f.     M/s Vikalp Enterprises, Kanpur is under contract with Director, DMSRDE for Environmental Control Hygiene and Maintenance Services at DMSRDE, Technical Area since past ten years and this agreement renewed in each contract year with mutually agreed terms & conditions. In annexure-1 of this contract between Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur and M/s Vikalp Enterprises, Kanpur for the year 2012 it is clearly mentioned that “Cleaning/trimming of trees/bushes on the sides of roads up to one meter and Removal/clearance of grass/bushes around test beds, buildings, sheds, petrol bunk and transformers” is included in scope of work.

g.      In the year 2010, 2011 and 2012 supply orders were issued to M/s Vikalp Enterprises, Kanpur for Environmental Control Hygiene and Maintenance Services at DMSRDE. The average cost of Supply Order is Rs.9, 90,000. Thereby the job of cutting of grass/sarkanda/bushes/trimming of tree were executed by M/s Vikalp Enterprises in DMRDE and fake cases were indented and supply orders were issued to M/s J.S. Enterprises by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE.

h.      The contracts awarded under supply orders as stated in point (d) were issued to M/s JS Enterprises which is fake firm of Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena and whole amount of money went to Dr. Saxena as no such work was carried out by M/s JS Enterprises as the said work was already covered under scope of work of the contract awarded to M/s Vikalp Enterprises, Kanpur for Environmental Control Hygiene and Maintenance Services at DMSRDE, Technical Area. Thereby this is clear case of fraud & Corruption of public money of Rs. 4, 81,498.00 by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena and Shielendra Kumar.

i.      It is  explicitly clear that illegal, gross irregularities, subversion and violation of  rules and criminal misconduct has been committed by Mr. Shilendra Kumar, Scientist ‘E’ and Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena in cutting of grass / sarkanda in DMSRDE. Instead of the Government gaining Rs. 2.50 lakhs of money from the bidder these two corrupt officers have made exchequer to lose an amount of Rs.  8.0 lakhs of money.

7.     Supply Order for Pruning and Trimming of Tree in Tech. area and residentialcvc sarkanda table2

8.      Copy of the demand no. DMSRDE/13WKS035 dated 03 Oct 2012 is enclosed as Annexure-6. The vendors mentioned in demand are fake and not concerned with activities of cutting, trimming and pruning of trees. Director, DMSRDE is not authorized to issue any Supply Order for cutting/trimming/pruning of trees in defence land and only authorized agency for this purpose in Ministry of Defence is Principle Controller/DEO, Defence Estate Office, Lucknow. Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena issued Supply Order without any authority to private vendor by heavy loss of revenue to exchequer and permitted to take along the wood costing more than ten lakhs free of cost to vendor along with cost of Supply Order. Copy of the supply order no. 13AM0036 dated 26 Feb 2013 is enclosed as Annexure-7.

9.      Supply Order to private vendor for construction of Parking Shade in DMSRDE, Kanpur

      i.            An application under RTI Act 2005 dated 04 October 2013 was submitted to CPIO, DMSRDE, Kanpur for seeking information about Parking. CPIO, DMSRDE vide their letter dated 29 October 2013 replied that “Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur has not ordered for construction of any vehicle parking stand inside DMSRDE not being constructed”. Copy of the CPIO letter dated 29 October 2013 is enclosed Annexure-8.

    ii.            First Appellate Authority, DRDO vide their letter dated 10 December 2013 informed that “M/s Gupta Construction is not a registered vendor in DMSRDE”. Copy of the FAA letter dated 10 Dec 2013 is enclosed as Annexure-9.

    vii.            Director is not authorized to execute any civil works under build up. The only authorized agency to carried out said civil construction works under DRDO is MES. First items have been purchased on 14 Jan 2013 and the construction has been executed on 8 May 2013. As M/s Gupta Construction is not registered vendor of DMSRDE so Supply Order should not be executed to M/s Gupta Construction under Purchase Management 2006 of DRDO.

10.      Massive Structural Alterations/Additions in R&D House DMSRDE, Kanpur by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur and Mr. Shielendra Kumar were executed during 01 March 2011-30 Sept 2013 in which unauthorized construction has been done by misuse of power, diversion of MES fund and misappropriation of funds. Approximate amount of Rs. Thirty lakhs were expenditure in illegal & unauthorized construction in Government accommodation at DMSRDE by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena.   

11.    In aforesaid above mentioned cases Corruption has been meted out by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur and Mr. Shielendra Kumar, Scientist ‘E’, Head, Material Management Group and  Head, Estate & Works Division by misuse of powers for personal gain for which they were not authorized to do  under DRDO Purchase Management 2006.

Therefore, in light of the above mentioned facts and evidences, I it is requested you to issue order for inquiry and disciplinary action against Mr. Shielendra Kumar, Scientist ‘E’ and Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE by CVO, Ministry of Defence.
