MASSIVE CORRUPTION IN AIRFORCE UNDERGROUND STRUCTURE, IMPLEMENTATION AGENCY DEFENCE PSU BHARAT ELECTRONICS SUSPENDS ITS OWN INVESTIGATING OFFICERS FOR UNEARTHING ROLE OF CMD & TOP OFFICERS

In an unprecedented move the defence public sector undertaking Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) has suspended three senior officials, who unearthed massive irregularities in the Indian Air Force’s confidential IACCS project- underground bunkers- at 10 strategic locations. The three officials were part of Inquiry committee set up by the BEL’s Chief Vigilance officer (CVO) in July 2018 . The team exposing the role of high ranking officers and manipulation of awards of contracts in Rs.8000 Crore project had submitted the report in October 2018. Instead of taking action against the corrupt officers, BEL management led by its Chairman MV Gowtama, who himself is under the scanner in IACCS project, acted with vengeance and suspended the investigation team members.

It is pertinent to mention that after three-member probe committee submitted the report, BEL CVO , a senior IAS officer MR S.SHIVA KUMAR  1987 BATCH in his note dated 29 March 2019 exposed the deep-rooted corruption recommending strong action against erring officers and firms. Yet, the CMD , who is likely to be arrested if a probe is ordered, cracked the whip against inquiry committee members for doing honest job. This crackdown is in spite of  the fact that the CVO of the company as appointed by CVC of India had established and validated each point of the investigation report  and strongly recommended to management of BEL for immediate police and civil criminal action against concerned BEL officers and chief consultant of the project M/s RD KONSULTANT.  The role of senior DRDO officers is also under the scanner since it was DRDO which recommended and fully supported the name of RD Konsultant to BEL although it was done informally and BEL surreptitiously avoided DRDO role in the files.The role of DRDO officers was brought out and exposed by the BEL vigilance probe team which was suspended on 17 May 2019.  To distract the government’s IB report, CMD, BEL created suspension drama of three personal of BEL, 2 GM Vigilance and one manager to fooling the country. This shows the clear mockery of BEL management.

M/S RD KONSULTANT – DELHI  , which came out to be a shell company in investigation report , incorporated just 3-4 months before the award of PPR consultancy project with all false  and fabricated documents, and was wrongly  awarded DPR consultancy project also violating BEL own manual procedures as well CVC guidelines with a criminal intent of having control over all future activities of civil contract as well infrastructure/ Plant and machinery  items procurement worth more than Rs 3500 crores, as recorded in noting files  and  many senior management personals of M/S BHARAT ELECTRONICS , which is continuously being done since UPA CONGRESS REGIME 2011.

One very interesting fact of the whole case is that the two BHARAT ELECTRONICS senior management personals named Mr N.K. SHARMA DIRECTOR( MARKETTING) and MR CHANDERPRAKASH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (D&E) GAD, who were the chief &key persons for co ordinating the IACCS project getting approved from Indian air force, joined  a company named “OIS ADVANCE TECH” – 90% OWNDED BY MR SANJAY BHANDARI – famous arms dealer & power broker  and close associate of ROBERT WADRA immediately after their retirement from BEL in 2010 and 2011, and immediately after this this project got formally started by BEL . 

The detailed and very exhaustive investigation done by fact verification team in early 2018 and further investigation team in end 2018 and subsequently report by CVO of M/s Bharat Electronics has established the details of  massive corruption and mal practices done by M/S RD Konsultant, its associate/related firms and senior management persons of BEL  ( since 2011 onwards till now), by abusing their powers and violating all BEL manuals as well as documented CVC guidelines for tendering for award of civil project works and procurement of items worth more than 3500 crores.

These civil contract worth more than 1000 crores have been given of paper to reputed firms like M/S L&T but at almost 30 % higher and inflated rates (as also mentioned by then Director (Finance) Mr PRABHAT ACHARYA in file noting about more than 100 crore loss as well as violation of BEL Contract manual conditions as well as CVC guidelines) and after some period he resigned from company. After this project given to m/s L&T are being done by M/S RD consultant sister concern named M/S CS CONSTRUCTIONS at sites ( even MD- Mr Rahul Baucher  of M/S CS Construction used to come to BEL-Ghaziabad unit  for regular review meeting on behalf of L&T) – A serious violation of CVC  guidelines as well contract conditions of BEL & M/S RD KONSUL) , which seriously compromise the quality , as it is a very small petty company which in no way  has a technical capability and skill to deal such highly technical and secured project. This fact as validated by the fact that some sites were shown as collapsed during construction and crores of rupees were further approved by BEL management in name of deviation with fixing the responsibility on contractor.

The detailed design which was submitted by M/s R.D. Konsultants specified vendors for all the sub-systems which are used in the blast proof underground buildings. It is seen that these vendors are the same which they had brought out to be their partners during presented made by then during the Pre-qualification bid. The Order which was placed on BEL by Air Force was also based on the detail design report submitted by M/s R.D. Konsultants and hence all these vendors called in the order from Air Force were the same which were defined by M/s R.D. Konsultants.BEL has in turn placed many orders for the sub-systems based on the vendors defined by M/s R.D. Konsultants. A visit was made to the works of many of these European vendors by a team of engineers from BEL along with Air Force personnel. But is it said that the team was accompanied by a rep from M/s R.D. Konsultant and the visit was coordinated by M/s R. D. Konsultant. These foreign companies were allowed to supply materials on a single tender basis by the BEL chairman MV Gowtama. He in fact overruled his own officials and approved qualification of several firms despite they had failed to submit bid details during prescribed time. Such gross violation was similar to the ones seen during 2G scam. BEL Chairman violated the laid down norms by allowing these foreign firms despite objections duly recorded by the finance division.

All above shows a case of massive corruption, fraud and abuse of power with criminal intent and a huge loss to Government public money by BEL senior management persons in connivance with chief consultant, EX DRDO and some IAF officials. The whole investigation report findings are finally found true of the fact that as it is learnt from top BEL & DRDO sources last week M/s RD Konsultant has written to BEL MANAGEMENT that as his chief designer has left the company and the firm has gone bankrupt, he cannot give consultancy services to this project. Now on this bogus consultancy company’s  design, specifications and whole scheme of the project BEL management has already  spend thousands of crores of public money  and suppose its design does not work then who will own the responsibility of whole scam. Now the news that the firm M/S RD KONSULTANT is running out of project the reason could only be because his fraud has come out in media and BEL current management instead of taking legal action against the corrupt, trying to harass and victimize the honest and brave investigation team members ( in name of media leak- which even our prime minister call  as a strong pillar of democracy) .

The team which is suspended and currently facing all type of harassment, victimization and humiliation of suspension, but in spite of all pressures and threats, have unearthed this scam just to keep the spirit of national security and defence importance   and demand only for justice but calling for a detailed CVC/CBI/ED enquiry outside BEL management preview immediately and immediate intervention of MINISTRY OF DEFENCE for action on some BEL senior management for their misdeeds

A honest and sincere appeal to all  concerned officials of PMO/MOD /CVC/PRESS/JUDITARY that please take immediate action in this regard to keep “CHOWKIDAR “ alive in our souls  by safeguarding the honour of investigation team officials.

ABOVE ALL MATTER IS COVERED IN DETAILS BY  A REPUTED NEWPAPER

“FIRSTPOST”  IN ITS ARTICLE DATED 02 APRIL, 09 APRIL & 26 April 2019

Before publishing in media the matter was available with AF Intelligence, CVO, CBI, North Block, Chairman, DRDO, IB in March itself but god knows why any agency not take-up this matter seriously.

Hope you will take up matter seriously as you are responsible Member, Audit Committee and Director of BEL and may be aware of all developments from side of BEL management who are posing that matter is mare deviation of 50/60 lakhs as a bonafide fighter against defence corruption since more than 20 years I am fully aware of nexus. This nexus was designed by Retired Scientist of DRDO with ex DRDO chief because the U/G work of services was sole right of DRDO via SPIC, but when retirement stage these corrupt DRDO official gang create the scene and diverted this activity to BEL which doesn’t have any type construction division like DRDO have, U/G plant machinery experience either trading nor manufacturing in this tender only 500 cr electronics involvement can BEL claimed. As per investigation and observation it is clearly visualize that few greedy BEL official trapped in vicious DRDO official and for sake of few bucks they compromised with national security as well as their organization’s dignity. Please ask the vigilance report prepared by these three suspended BEL employees, Report is not an eye opener but will help govern to expose UPA era nexus who are responsible to siphon the defence budget under shadow of secrecy.

Army Two Star General made mockery of Indian Army’s reputation in DRDO

General Bipin Rawat,

Army chief

Army Headquarter, South Block,

DHQ P.O, New Delhi 110011

Subject: Army Two Star General made mockery of Indian Army’s reputation in DRDO.

Sir,

In the name of Services Interaction, DRDO has service officers from all three wings of the armed forces. The officers are posted on a tenure basis.

It is observed that in DRDO more than 90% services officers are assigned logistic/ administrative jobs like Security Officer, Motor Transport Officer, Estate Manager, Material Management and managing scientists officers mess/canteen requirements, etc.

Some smart services officers who are involved in DRDO’s scientists’ bluff game are able to get permanent absorption in the organization and enjoy services as well as the scientist sticker.

But sincere services officers face a lot of embarrassment from the corrupt scientist herd. They face unprecedented transfers in their short tenure, negative remarks on their service records only because they perform the job assigned honestly. For all these unfair means DRDO takes help of senior services officers who are permanently absorbed and are enjoying all kinds of benefits along with the corrupt scientists.

Since the last 30 years, DRDO has not been able to quote a single services officer who has contributed to any remarkable technical contribution to the nation through DRDO (except the services doctors).

The important part of these absorbed services officers is that they are promoted unduly without contribution to the nation or services. Only thing that they protect are the bluffers.

Only one example to prove the aforementioned is Maj. Gen. Ajay Gupta, present Director, VRDE, DRDO, Ahmednagar. If anyone sees his journey in DRDO, he will know how blessed the Maj. Gen. is because of saving culprit scientist as long as he was serving tenure as Director Vigilance, DRDO, HQ. Of the hundreds of complaints filed, he stopped or delayed multiple cases. This reveals the truth about how corruption flourishes in DRDO with the help of service officers.

Maj. Gen. Ajay Gupta, present Director, VRDE, DRDO, Ahmednagar made mockery of Indian Army reputation on 15th February 2018.

As reported by Sakal Times “CBI to probe Major Gen’s role in security breach at VRDE” March 14, 2018”

It is a very serious matter that active Army Maj. Gen, who was earlier served as Director Vigilance & Security. DRDO HQ for long tenure did this misadventure.

As per Sakal Times “When contacted, Maj Gen Gupta said, “I did not conduct any meeting with those foreign nationals. They came to VRDE without any clearance, which is why I went to the gate to turn them back.”

Above statement of Maj Gen Gupta is totally wrong because as per evidences for telling no for meeting he can pass the massage through Security or if he wants to say no personally, how come conveying the same took 30 minutes. 

15th Feb 2018 Dhound Gate, VRDE, DRDO, Ahemadnagar

Foreigners reached at Dhound Gate, VRDE, DRDO, Ahemadnagar-           10:29:56

Director reached in his flag car at Dhound Gate, VRDE. Ahemadnagar-    10:33:12

Something dumped in Foreigner’s vehicle without security         –              10:44:44

Director back in his flag car from Dhound Gate, VRDE Ahemadnagar-      11:00:43 

Maj. Gen spend time with two foreign nationals almost                  –  27.31 Minutes

Second one most important evidence not highlight in news clip that is at 10:44:44 hrs, 15th Feb 2018 Cam – 3 of Dhound gate recorded that some stuff was dumped in foreigner’s white car by VRDE personals, Maj Gen Ajay Gupta was present there  in meeting with foreign national.(Evidence – 12)

As per CCTV recording one local vehicle dealer was present in above said meeting as per sources he was only organized the meeting which itself explanatory that Maj Gen Ajay Gupta very much involve personally with vendors/dealer etc.

Therefore, for the clean reputation of Indian Army a serious inquiry is needed, CBI, IB, MI are have their own course but Army Headquarter should deal this matter in high level. Because the Maj Gen Ajay Gupta approached DRDO Hqrs to send a denial to media on this issue fortunately it did not work since Maj Gen Ajay Gupta was enjoying the post of Dir. Vig & Security for a long time and have lot of inputs of wrong doings of high level DRDO official so he will try to bury the incident and influence the enquiry.

As a citizen of India and tax payer I request you to take appropriate action on above said incident and set exemplary precedent for service officers who are serving in DRDO and working against national interest. Hope we will soon be able to see our grate army practice to dealt such serious security/corruption matter which can dent our national interest

With great hope, Jaihind

SUBJECT: CORRUPTION IN DMSRDE (DRDO), KANPUR BY DR. ARVIND KUMAR SAXENA, DIRECTOR

Honourable Sir,

DRDO basically turn as den of corruption and manipulations, still not ready to accept that the new era of corruption free governance begin in country.

The root of corruption and the confidence of manipulation and thinking of fooling the politicians in the name of defence secrecy are deeply absorbed in the blood of top old senior scientists who are running the DRDO show.

If some vital information exposed by media or frustrated honest scientists to the government, DRDO first advocate in the name of secrecy or next thing is same old established tactics that make a 1st fact finding committee then 2nd fact finding committee and encash the complaints with temporary duty claims in the name of inquiry and stretch the case up to year or two and people will forgotten the issue/corrupt officer retire from service  and corrupt official easily gulp the poor tax payers money.

Sir, will you seriously going to take the corruption prevailing in DRDO which is very important because our defence preparedness is lying on the shoulder of DRDO, if it is not strong enough then what will the fate of country.

As in 5th September 2014 in your interaction to our lovely school students gave clear message that up to 2024 you are ready to give blessing and service to our country. It is very important that you have to operate the inside spread cancer (corruption / nepotism / favoritism) of DRDO.

I would like to inform you that I have continuously submitting lot of complaints in various agencies like CVC, IB and CBI since last 15 years and simultaneously exposing via www.corruptionindrdo.com since 4 years.

Recently, I have submitted 12 complaints on corruption against Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur to CVC, New Delhi. The complaints are tip of the iceberg and proper investigation can reveal hundreds of crores corruption which was executed by Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena via various means.

DRDO’s expert manipulators made first fact finding committee spend few time and then made second fact finding committee and now they are killing the time in Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena’s corruption cases.

Then after few years CAG will submit a report in front of honourable parliament like CAG Report CA No 30 of 2013 (Defence Services) Chapter V, DRDO

Para 5.1 – Extra avoidable expenditure by ANURAG – Violation of the prescribed procurement procedure and allow M/S ITI to execute the job through outsourcing at higher price resulted extra expenditure of Rs 2.12 Crores by ANURAG.

Para 5.2 Unwarranted procurement of CATIA V6 Software costing Rs 11.05 Crores and lying unused since 2011 – ANURAG

Para 5.3 DRDO procured components for NAG Missile at a cost Rs 52.58 Crores in anticipation of an order from Army, which resulted in blocking of Government money of Rs 34.70 Crores.

The man behind the ANURAG procurement manipulation enjoying extension, he is one of the Gem of DRDO scientist and expert such procurement business since his induction in DRDO as direct Scientist D.

Above CAG reports are very tiny part of DRDO corruption the actual corruption is in the tune of thousands of crores every year, dumping equipments, construction buildings in the name of infra structure development without needs and lot of things.

Hope we will witness some great steps as the whole country believes in your working and fast decisions mechanism.

Sir hope you will segregate the real Rishis who are in clutches of few Rakshas.

Reference:     (i)  My letter dated 16 April 2014 to Prime Minister with subject        “Unconstitutional act of DoPT officials who are managing the Online RTI Portal and supporting corrupt officers of DRDO”

                     (ii)   PMO reply ID No. 10/3/2014-PMP1/30140 dated 19th May 2014

Honorable Sir,

  1.  www.corruptionindrdo.com continues to expose the corruption/nepotism prevailing in DRDO since the last four years. DRDO’s honest officials send corruption inputs from all DRDO establishments and with help of RTI’s and from internet information, the corruption inputs are regularly passed to the government and relevant agencies like CVC, IB, CBI etc.
  2. www.corruptionindrdo.com’s efforts recognized by honest officials of DRDO and website regularly getting corruption/nepotism inputs from each and every corner of the country. On basis of the points raised by the website, DRDO also took several corrective measures and constituted inquiry committees for examining the truths.
  3. In my 16th April 2014 letter I have requested Honorable Prime Minister to kindly take appropriate corrective measures against officials who are involved in unconstitutional acts and give strength to RTI- Act 2005. It has really empowered the common man. Also, fix those who are diluting the effectiveness of  the strong RTI Act -2005.
  4. The online RTI portal “Guideline – An applicant who desires to obtain any information under the RTI Act 2005 can make a request through this RTI Online Portal to only the Central Public Authorities of main Ministries/Departments located at New Delhi initially”. In the first phase, this facility is available to Ministries/Departments/Apex Bodies mentioned in the list available in ‘GUIDELINES’, but there is no list available in RTI portal. Like Defence Ministry having several offices in  New Delhi
  5. Sir, I have received a letter from DoPT Letter No.6/1/2014-IR dated 6/6/2014 copy to Sh Kaushal Kishor Pandey, SO, PMO, New Delhi in respect of reply my letter dated 16 April 2014 to Prime Minister with subject “Unconstitutional act of DoPT officials who are managing the Online RTI Portal and supporting corrupt officers of DRDO”
  6. In DoPT letter Sh R K Girdhar, Under Secretary (RTI) stated that “if you not satisfied with the reply of CPIO, may filed appeal before the first appellate authority in the same public authority u/s 19(i) of the RTI Act 2005” it seems that the letter forwarded by PMO was not even read by Sh R K Girdhar. It shows the seriousness of DoPT regarding RTI issues or Sh R K Girdhar just trying to shield the nodal officer.
  7. I have enclosed the remark of nodal officer not CPIO that they have returned with “You have filed more than 40 online RTI applications relating to DRDO on the address of Department of Defence which has been physically transferred to DRDO under intimation to you. DRDO is a separate public authority and is also placed under Second Schedule of the RTI Act, 2005. Therefore, your online RTI applications seeking information in r/o the DRDO and sent to Department of Defence will not be acted upon henceforth. You may directly send your application to the DRDO for the information.”
  8. Sh R K Girdhar, just overlooked the letter contents and send regular fixed reply without applying any mind. I don’t know RTI Act 2005 is a serious responsibility or just for feeding papers.
  9. Sir, after exposing the corruption / nepotism of DRDO’s senior officials because RTI Act-2005. Some officials suspended, some got charge sheet and some are in queue. Now DRDO officials are trying to make a wall for RTI Act 2005. Recently an unconstitutional letter issued by Dr. R B Sharma, CPIO, DRDO, Hqrs Cell on 8th March 2014 to all establishment/Lab show that they clearly made their policy not to give any RTI reply. (Copy enclosed) As per Sh R K Girdhar in one RTI reply in reference to that “any CPIO can compel to other CPIO not to give information under RTI” he stated that “There is no such policy of compelling or a CPIO being compelled by other PIO for not providing information to the information seeker. A PIO can be penalized by Information Commission under Section 20 of the RTI Act, 2005.”
  10. Further in 28th May 2005 a meeting was held under DRDO transparency officer Dr. Sudershan Kumar, DS and CC R&D (PC & SI). In that he told to all DRDO’s CPIO not to supply any information under RTI Act-2005. It can be verified by records of DRDO RTI cell that no information was passed after this decision to any RTI applicant.
  11. DRDO is in neck deep corruption/ nepotism/ favoritism and the reason being this DRDO is unproductive since last 15-20 years, don’t believe their data and dabas because when our forces will be ready to accept those then only our country will believe on DRDO, otherwise it will  be only ok for 26 January  republic show  tableau .
  12. In view of the above, I request you Sir, the RTI is the only effective way to restrict corruption in DRDO. Please give directives to DRDO & DoPT to honor the RTI act 2005 in the right spiritto promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority.

2.       Dr. A K Saxena, Director, DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur 

Defence Materials & Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), Kanpur is an establishment under Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Min. of Defence, DRDO Bhawan, New Delhi.

DRDO’s Director Material Management distributed to all Labs & Establishments a manual named “DRDO Purchase Management -2006” which was duly approved by President of India and with the concurrence of Ministry of Defence (Fin/R&D) vide their ID No 752/IF (R&D) dated 20 March 2006.

Dr.T C Shami had a microwave network analyzer make – Agilent Technologies, Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). A network analyzer, like most electronic instruments requires periodic calibration – typically this is performed once per year and is performed by the manufacturer or by a 3rd party in a calibration laboratory. When the instrument is calibrated, it will usually have a sticker fixed to the outside, stating the date it was calibrated and when the next calibration is due. A calibration certificate will be issued.

A number of verification kits are available to verify the network analyzer is performing to specification. These typically consist of transmission lines with an air dielectric and attenuators. The Agilent 85050 kit includes a 7 cm airline. (Image of Agilent 85050 kit and specifications are enclosed)

This Agilent 85050 calibration / verification kit list (budgetary current price – US $ 10500/-)

Agilent 7mm Precision calibration kit  

The Agilent 85050C precision mechanical calibration kit contains precision calibration standard devices (including an airline) to characterize the systematic errors of Agilent network analyzers in the 7 mm interface. This kit also contains adapters to change the sex of the test port, connector gages for verifying and maintaining the connector interface, and a torque wrench for proper connection. Included are standards definitions on disk.

  DC to 18 GHz frequency range                              

Calibration standards to perform full two-port calibration

Precision 50 ohm airline for Thru-Reflect-Line (TRL) calibration

Torque wrenches for properly connecting standards

Adapters to change the sex of the test port

Standard definitions on disk for loading into network analyzer

It is observed that as a Head SMG, DMSRDE Dr.T C Shami, Scientist ‘F’, floated tenders in different mode for procuring microwave calibration kits since 2009 using different nomenclature. shami case table1

Throughout world any organization, govt. or private or technical educational institute if they required calibration their measurement equipment they approached nodal agencies for calibration or if they have budget then purchased single unit. In above case the DMSRDE, Kanpur purchasing so many calibration kits with using different nomenclature.

Dr.T C Shami raised demand almost every year for Agilent 7mm Precision calibration kit ( Model no. 58050C) from  Agilent Technologies but purchase not metalized for unforeseen reasons.

After that the   calibration kits     C band (3.95-5.85GHz) waveguide  & WR284 -S band(2.60-3.95 GHz) calibration kit  was purchased in limited tender from  M/S Surabhi International , 60/43, HAMRAJ COMMERCIAL CENTRE, NAYAGANJ, Kanpur – 208001. Military Tent, Yarn, fabric, vest & bulletproof jacket suppliers. The information available in public domain related to M/S Surabhi International is enclosed which is self explanatory.

Recently Dr.T C Shami raised demands vide No DMSRDE/ 14SMG044 for WR284 -S band(2.60-3.95 GHz) calibration ki t &  Tender floated on 05/03/2014 and due date is 9th May 2014.

  1.  Dr.T C Shami purchased microwave calibration kits since 2009 using different nomenclature and in process of procuring calibration,

i.            Question is this microwave calibration kits are consumable items?

ii.            Every year Agilent Technologies Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) need brand new calibration Kit?

iii.            Is same practice is following by other DRDO labs who are working in the field of microwave like, DEAL, DRDL, RCI,DLRL, LRDE, CARE, CABs, ADE and so on.

iv.            Is DMSRDE extending this calibration facility to all other organization like HAL, IIT etc as revenue generation under resource management scheme?

v.            Or Dr.T C Shami is calibrating Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) by every time shield pack new calibration kit in the manner of use & throw. (typically this is performed once per year)

vi.            Or money is flowing in DMSRDE, Kanpur

2.  As per microwave expert this kind of regular procurement shows that the regular procurement of shear wastage of precious foreign currency. 

3.  Procurements of such delicate microwave precision calibration kits should be from Agilent Technologies, Rohde & Schwarz, Maury Microwave Corporation etc or its authorized dealers not from fabric & tent suppliers again raised big question.

4.  Dr T C Shami purchased C band (3.95-5.85GHz)waveguide  & WR284 -S band(2.60-3.95 GHz) calibration kit  in limited tender from  M/S Surabhi International Pvt. Ltd 60/43, HAMRAJ COMMERCIAL CENTRE, NAYAGANJ, Kanpur – 208001. Who deals with Military Tent, Yarn, fabric, vest & bulletproof jacket suppliers. The information available in public domain related to M/S Surabhi is enclosed which is self explanatory.

5.   M/S Surabhi International is registered at DMSRDE with Registration No.  DMS/26/27. This firm is registered in category Chemicals & Polymers.

6.   M/S Surabhi International have two more support family firms M/s Pee Cee Textile Stores and M/s Mishra Trading Company.

7.   M/S Surabhi International has also supplied a very specialized microwave component Double Ridge Microwave 18-40 GHz Horn Antenna with Carrying & Shipping Case vide Demand No.: DMSRDE/11SMG125, Dated: 07 Sep 2010 costing Rs 4,25,000.00. The modus oprendi was same limited tender.

8.      Initiating Officer(Indenter) : Himanshu Bhushan Baske, Scientist ‘D’  working under Dr T C Shami

Supply  Order No. – DMSRDE/ 11AT0115 dated 24 Sept 2010
Supply Order Cost – 855500.00
DP – 10 Jan 2011
Supplier : M/S Surabhi International

 9.   In search of corruption in DRDO, it is observed that DRDO is helping our traders in very big way to educate them high technology fundas, the Pan wala where scientist use to purchase pan become supplier of high-tech components, the IB report revealed the rice exporter friend of Dr A S Bains, Ex Director, DEAL, DRDO, Dehradun become high-tech 35 GHz satellite terminal component suppliers, in Hyderabad the wedding mundapam owner become missile components suppliers. The same practices being are followed by DMSRDE, Kanpur, the chemical suppliers/ fabrics suppliers suddenly became microwave components supplier.

10.   Last but not least it is unethical and unauthorized suppliers are supplying the items at exorbitant prices and some time used and refurbished items are also supplied, it happens because of close proximity with indenters and director of lab. 

11.   It is requested CVC please do physical verification of above calibration kits  in DMSRDE premises with serial numbers verified from manufacture, because today all big multinational companies maintaining the data base. Anyone can verify with serial number, who was the first buyer of the item, is it brand new or refurbish etc.

12.    In the case of these calibration kits Agilent Technologies main supplier company and the Maury Microwave Corporation is the manufacture.

13.    In view of the above mentioned facts and evidences it is earnestly requested that an order for through investigation of all procurement done by  Dr T C Shami after assuming charge as Head, SMG DMSRDE, DRDO, Kanpur to stop further corruption and wastage of poor tax payers money.

    HYDERABAD, May 4: Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) scientist Srinivasulu, who was nabbed by Intelligence Bureau (IB) officials and city police here on Thursday night, was found to be working as a faculty member in the Tripoli University in Libya.

    IB officials, acting on a tip off, sought the assistance of city police, who arrested the B-grade defence scientist at the Rajiv Gandhi International airport when he was about to board the Dubai-bound Air-India flight.

    According to sources, Srinivasulu neither submitted his resignation nor obtained permission from the DRDO authorities for working in Libya. He obtained a passport without the knowledge of DRDO which is statutory. He left for Libya an year-and-half back and joined as a faculty member in the university at Tripoli.

    During interrogation, Srinivasulu reportedly confessed before IB officials that he was taking some secret documents with him and one of his colleagues at Tripoli university, Kumar, was also involved in the spying.

    Sources added that Srinivasulu has planned to go to Sharjah by the Dubai-bound Indian Airlines flight and then to Malta Islands in Africa by air. From there he was to catch a ship for Tripoli.

 DRDO lab seals suspect’s workstation – Deccan Chronicle -September 1, 2012 By B.R. Srikanth | S.V. Krishna Chaitanya DC Bengaluru/Mysore

Dr W. Selvamurthy, Chief Controller, R&D (Life Sciences), stated that 

“This is the first time in the history of the DRDO that an insider has been arrested for suspected terror links. It came as a shock to the entire organisation. Generally, all top scientists, engineers and other officials of the technical and administrative divisions of the DRDO and offices are monitored by the Central Intelligence Bureau (IB). It’s one of those stray incidents,”

Dr Selvamurthy and his big team at Electronic Niketan

1 Comment

10th December 2011

Dear Dr Saraswat Ji Good Morning  

Yesterday I was astonished to see Dr Selvamurthy and his big team at Electronic Niketan during the meeting called by IT Ministry regarding the DRDO complaint about www.corruptionindrdo.com.

When you assumed the charge of Scientific Adviser to RM, I congratulated and expressed the hope of common people with DRDO as the wound   of KARGIL WAR is still very painful. Almost all the general had expressed the reluctance and incompetence of DRDO at different forums and this fact cannot be ignored by even the Defence Minister and Prime Minister.

Starting from 2001 till date whatever information related to corruption/ nepotism / favoritism was collected or received by me was sent to competent authorities of DRDO but it was thrown in to dustbin. All your courtiers suggested and advised you to ignore the truth and even somebody like Dr. Arun Kumar and Dr. Prahalada opined for stern action in open meeting stating “CBI raid, Income Tax raid, IB raid to be conducted on me.” Arun Kumar even said that, “What the hell this 8th pass will do to DRDO.”

Unfortunately, you felt that Prabhu Dandriyal is alone. However, all those who are honest and disciplined worker and have suffered by nepotism/favoritism are Prabhu Dandriyal. All those deserving and who do not get their due credit are behind this website.

I request you, as a true Indian national, at least think about your country first, Peoples’ aspirations are very high.

Dr. V. K. Saraswat should shine like the sun in the sky. He should not vanish like his predecessors, in the dense darkness.

Kalam is honest and puts all his efforts for the nation. The others however, respect their bank balance and country’s interest is lost.

I request you for implement immediate corrective measures in respect of corruption/nepotism/favoritism prevailing in DRDO. Stop the growing incompetency in all levels. The  idea behind this website shall be accomplished and it won’t be required anymore. A scientist B sidelined today after twenty years may prove fatal.

Thanking you

Regards
