Dear Friends see the DRDO statement in Delhi Court, the whole country is witness the unprecedented delays in all major projects and same manner DRDO misleading the honorable High Court, Delhi

DRDO is applying same tactics in Delhi High Court by stating that Fact Finding Inquiry has already been held and he undertakes to place before this Court the inquiry report in second appearance and again asked for time.

See the facts

The First Fact Finding Inquiry Committee headed by Dr S S Negi, Sc H, members Shri Manoj Bali , Scientist ‘G’ and Shri Jagdeep, Scientist ‘F’ visited A on 13th – 14th, March 2014 for inquiry on the complaint submitted against Dr. A K Saxena

What submitted by First Fact finding Committee

As per Sh D N Tripathi, Sc F, Addl. Director Administration and Finance, DMSRDE, Kanpur submitted supplementary counter affidavit to Honorable  CAT, Allahabad on 4 June 2014

  1. Fact finding not found any truth for complaint submitted by Sh Navin Praksh Gupta and Prabhu Dandriyal and thus dropped and rejected.
  2. Prabhu Dandriyal was terminated by DRDO (Stated without proof and will pay for that will be filed criminal case against Sh D N Tripathi, Sc F, Addl. Director Administration and Finance, DMSRDE, Kanpur in Dehradun Court)
  3. Photo copy of Fact Finding Report submitted in honorable CAT Allahabad as annexure SCA-3. (It means DRDO having readily available fact finding report the why they wasted precious time of honorable Delhi High Court)

As per Dr A K Singh Letter DOP/DS/008/M/01 dated 28 May 2014to Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur.

Brief facts on the basis of Fact Finding committee – Interestingly fact finding was constituted to find out facts of corruption related allegations within the procurement files.

But Chairman FFIC, Dr S S Negi who is Dr (PhD) on Semiconductor Devices turns Dr on psychology and forgot the procurement related corruption allegation, started the analyses of behavior and life style of Sh R P Bhatt, Sc’F’ and Sh N P Gupta, Sc ‘C’

Committee certified that – Sh R P Bhat, Sc’F’ is a habitual drunkenness, misbehavior, threatening and harassment to others, including the transfer to other lab. The question is it was in the purview of Dr. Negi & team or if it is correct than how Sh R.P Bhatt promoted up to Sc ‘F’, is Dr Negi team gone through the last 5 years APAR of Sh R P Bhatt any negative comment of Dr A K Saxena was there?

Committee suggested that – Necessary action to be initiated against Sh R P Bhat, Sc’F’

Dr. Negi & team can able to stand with their statement in front of High Court, Allahabad?

As Sh R P Bhatt challenged is transfer on the basis of recommendations of Fact Finding Committee

Basically Dr. Negi is very good in scientific work but very poor in administration and management, after assumption of charge as Director, IRDE every day he is facing lot of irregularities of employees and scientists, Union running the local administrations of IRDE, like internal posting /transfer, safety shoe purchase without proper specification, who will go for TD, who will be chair for different investigation enquiries, whom to serve warnings, to whom to give AMC, to whom to give man power supplies, who will sit in security and all sundry things

Second Fact finding Committee

Shri Avinash Chander , 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 Hari babu 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.

As per sources the second Fact finding Committee asked all procurement related files and found lot of irregularities, but the Sh Avinash Chander and Dr A K Singh both were given assurance to Dr A K Saxena, the reason only know to them or GOD.

The website have all documentary evidences to prove the corruption allegations, it is expected that DRDO have no choice to send all these cases for CBI inquiry and website will submit all those evidences to CBI, which website continuously receiving.

See the DRDO efficiency till date DRDO not take any action on the basis of second fact finding committee reports or neither had they submitted the fact finding report to CVO, MOD.

As Director (Vigilance), MOD has sought Director (Vigilance & Security), DRDO for consolidated report by his letter dated 04 August 2014.

Toilet truth hits drive

OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT – The Telegraph
New Delhi, Sept. 3, 2014: Whether the digester bacteria have called cease work or not isn’t clear but the government’s bio-toilet drive in villages is suddenly looking a bit leaky.

The Odisha government has told the National Human Rights Commission that nine of the 12 bio-digester toilets installed in five villages in Bhadrak district have become defunct, contrary to the Centre’s claims that these toilets don’t need maintenance.

The toilets, developed by defence research organisation DRDO and launched by then rural development minister Jairam Ramesh as part of the Centre’s drive to end open defecation, had been installed in 2012 in two blocks — Dhamara and Basudevpur — all meant for community use.

In a report last month, the state’s rural development department said the Bhadrak district administration had written to the DRDO in July requesting it to repair the toilets — that use bacteria for treating the waste — but has got no response yet.

No one from the DRDO was available for comment.

The report followed a case filed by a lawyer, Radhakanta Tripathy, who complained to the rights panel that the toilets were not helping the common people and the practice of open defecation was continuing as before.

“The people were expecting their miseries would end after the installation of the bio-toilets. These toilets have become defunct and nobody is taking responsibility for their maintenance,” Tripathy said.

The report has come as a “reality check” at a time the Centre is promoting these toilets in a big way as part of its efforts to make India free of open defecation by 2019.

A letter from the ministry of drinking water and sanitation last month to all state secretaries in charge of sanitation said states may be given the option of adopting the DRDO model for safe disposal of human waste. The ministry also sent the names of 39 firms that produce bio-toilets, used mainly by the army in high-altitude areas.

The railways, islands such as Lakshadweep and houseboats also use the technology that involves bacteria converting human waste to odourless compost and biogas. There is no need to replenish the bacteria since they regenerate.

Bindeshwar Pathak, founder of sanitation NGO Sulabh International, said the technology was not foolproof. “The water released from tanks of these bio-digesters is pollutant. The technology should be further developed.”

But Rail Tech, one of the firms mentioned in the government letter, defended the technology. “The technology is working perfectly in trains and army camps in high-altitude areas. There is no reason why they cannot work in the plains,” Rail Tech director Kunal Jain said.

He said the problem lay with the user. “If foreign materials are dropped into the drainage system of the toilets, they will stop working.”

Intimation about deliberate illegal acts and omissions done in DRDO

To                                                                                                               12th April 2015                 Hon’ble Shri Manohar Parrikar,                                                                                                   Defence Minister,Room No -104,                                                                                                   South Block,New Delhi-110011

Subject: Intimation about deliberate illegal acts and omissions done in DRDO.

Sir,                                                                                                                                                     Please find following informations about the intentional unlawful acts and omissions made in DRDO, MOD

  1. Shri Krishan Kumar and Shri J B Singh retired joint Directors of AFHQ Cadre of the o/o JS (T) & CAO, MOD have been appointed as consultants in the ADA, Bangalore (an autonomous body under the administrative control of DRDO, MOD.) soon after their retirement on superannuation for the regular official work of ADA Bangalore and they have been illegally posted in the very sensitive establishment of DRDO i.e. RAC, Delhi. these two (02) consultants are used illegally to attend the court cases at CAT Delhi & High Court of Delhi filed by regular employees of the DRDO like court case of retired Scientist ’G’ Shri Virender Kumar of DEAL Dehradun. These consultants even illegally screen the applications of direct recruitments of scientist in DRDO & in such screening no meticulous screening is carried out by these consultants resulting selection of ineligible & relatives of senior scientist of DRDO as a quid –pro-que. Moreover there is imminent danger of favoritism and leakage of confidential and sensitive documents/information of RAC Delhi.
  2. Shri S T Rajan & Shri R Natrajan retired joint Directors of AFHQ Cadre of the o/o JS (T) & CAO, MOD have been appointed as consultants in the program office of DRDO HQ New Delhi in the missiles program for carrying out routine works for which already their relievers in the form of regular employees have been posted in DRDO HQ. these retired GOVT. servants are also appointed against the vacancies of ADA Bangalore and posted in DRDO HQ New Delhi. they don’t belong to scientific or technical cadre. There is imminent danger of the leakage of the sensitive informations at their level.
  3. Shri V K Shrama retired joint Directors of AFHQ Cadre of the o/o JS (T) & CAO, MOD has been appointed as consultants in the o/o DOP, DRDO HQ New Delhi with the approval of the then defence minister of GOI by misrepresentation & distortion of the material facts particularly with regard to the actual need of hiring him as consultant. His services have been utilized for the assignments  for which he has not been appointed. There is imminent danger of leakage of the sensitive information.
  4. Dr. A K Singh, present DOP of DRDO HQ New Delhi has played an active role in illegal extension of the periods of consultancy and in new engagements of consultancies of the retired GOVT. servants which he carried out with deliberate misrepresentation and distortion of the material facts submitted to the various senior authorities of DRDO, MOD & to the defence minister.
  5. Shri A K Singh present DOP of DRDO HQ New Delhi did not take any initiative to suspend Shri G Malakondiah, the then CC R&D (HR of DRDO HQ) for his conviction in a contempt of court case of the high court of the judicature of Chennai on 24-sept-2014 although this conviction news came in almost all the important daily newspapers including Hindusthan times New Delhi edition. No convicted person can be retained in GOVT. service even for a single day if the news of his conviction comes to the notice of the concerned public authority through formal or informal channel. The stay granted to Shri Malakondiah on 26-09-2014 by the apex court was restricted to the implementation of the imprisonment and not his conviction. The convicted person was deliberately allowed an opportunity to influence the witnesses and to tamper, mend, amend, destroy, replace & concealment of the concerned documents against the public interest due to lake of devotion to duty and possession of doubtful integrity of the concerned officials of the DRDO HQ New Delhi.
  6. the number of retired officials of DRDO, AFHQ Cadre appointed as consultants, directly violating the rules of consultancy, for the regular work of DRDO has reached to the alarming point where regular employees are considering illegal interference of the consultants in their regular sphere of duties and are also feeling frustrated and de-motivated which is playing havoc on the output of the DRDO as an organization.

I hope that some appropriate concrete action would be taken against the concerned guilty officers of DRDO & all Deviations and distortions would be set right in the national interest.

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

To                                                                                                                    8th April 2015             Hon’ble  Shri Narendra Modi                                                                                                           Prime Minister                                                                                                                                 PMO, Room No 152 South Block                                                                                                     New Delhi-110011

 

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.

Another top DRDO scientist denied extension by Modi government

by Pranav Kulkarni | New Delhi | Published on:April 1, 2015 1:49 am – The Indian Express
Two months after it sacked Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) chief Avinash Chander, the government has denied extension to a top DRDO scientist. Bikash Bhattacharya, who was on his first extension as the director of Pune-based High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), retired Tuesday. Besides him, the government in the past six months has denied extension to at least three top DRDO scientists.
While Chander was sacked unceremoniously citing the need for appointing younger scientists, the Modi government has on several platforms made public its intentions to streamline DRDO.
Sources in DRDO said the HEMRL director’s extension was recommended by Chander and was considered by the Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC). It was, however, rejected by the government “about 10 days ago”. Bhattacharya was formerly associated with ISRO.
Bhattacharya, 62, who took over as director, HEMRL on September 11, 2011 was already on one extension after he completed 60 years on March 23, 2013. As per DRDO’s existing promotion policy, two extensions are permitted for a tenure of two years after the scientist completes 60 years, the retirement age.
Bhattacharya is the fourth scientist to have been denied extension by the Modi government in the past six months. Others who were denied extension are directors of Defence Research & Development Establishment (DRDE), Defence Bioengineering and Electromedical Laboratory (DEBEL) and Electronics & Radar Development Establishment (LRDE) — M P Kaushik, V C Padaki and Venkatnarayana Raju, respectively.
The denial of extensions by the Modi government has reversed the trend of the UPA government which was criticised for making extensions a “norm” instead of an “exception”. In 2012 for instance, 11 top scientists were on extension at various laboratories across the country.

Subject:     Appeal for Justice’.

Respected Sir,

Very humbly, I submit as under:

  1. I, Dr. Rohidas Gopinath Taware was working as a Group ‘A’ Gazetted officer with designation Technical Officer ‘B’ in High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), Pune- 411021, DRDO, Ministry of Defence. My educational qualification is M.Sc., Ph.D., MBA, PGDEE (Post Graduate Diploma in Ecology and Environment). I have completed 27 years’ of satisfactory service in HEMRL. My entire service record is spotlessly clean.

I hail from a much respected family. My father was a Freedom Fighter and a brave soldier of Azad Hind Sena.

  1. I had submitted timely my grievances to Dr. A Subhananda Rao, Director, HEMRL, Pune regarding my harassment. But no cognizance was taken by him.

I made earnest Appeal for Justice’ on 09.01.2008 to the Director of Personnel (DoP), DRDO, Ministry of Defence, New Delhi regarding my grievances along with supporting documents. I had written a letter on 04.05.2009 to DoP regarding my ‘Harassment by Ostracism’ in HEMRL, Pune. The DoP, too, did not take any cognizance of my grievances and harassment.                          

  1. Instead of considering the gravity of my grievances and harassment by ostracism, Dr. Arun Kumar, the Director of Personnel, all of a sudden, suspended me on 08.2009 by fax order. So, I lodged my protest on 26.08.2009 against the illegal suspension order issued by the DoP.
  1. There is a big conspiracy in DoP office of DRDO from my suspension to dismissal from the service. The Director, HEMRL gave false information to DoP that I was involved in “High-Handed Anti- Departmental Activities”, “the Laboratory has come to a stand still vulnerable position”, “the working of the Laboratory is badly dislocated” and “all officers are in demoralized state”.

The DoP office without any preliminary Inquiry proceeded against me and arranged for my suspension and further dismissal. Thus, the Director HEMRL and DoP joined hands against me and were bent upon to see that I was dismissed from service on 30.12.2010 for the reasons best known to them. The suspension to dismissal charges are not related to each other. Further, penalty of dismissal is horribly disproportionate to the charges leveled against me.

  1. The charges leveled against me for my dismissal like ‘tone and tenor of letter’ are trifling, false and fictitious.
  2. I wish to point out legal points regarding my suspension to dismissal which show that how the Principles of Natural Justice were blatantly violated.
  1. Two separate Memoranda, two separate Disciplinary Inquiries.
  2. Second Inquiry initiated for alleged misconduct during my suspension period when I was not on duty.
  3. Two separate Penalties simultaneously, First Minor & Second Major.
  4. Second penalty was awarded without cancelling first penalty.
  5. No revocation of suspension when first minor penalty was awarded.
  6. Second penalty of Dismissal awarded while under suspension.
  7. Both the penalties horribly disproportionate to the charges.
  8. All the orders from suspension to dismissal illegal. Approval from Rajya Raksha Mantri (RRM) taken instead of Raksha Mantri. Signatory to the orders not authorized under Art.77(2) of the Constitution.          
  1. After dismissal order, I have done a lot of correspondence with the Competent Authority of DRDO for my illegal suspension, illegal punishments including my dismissal and for the settlement of Government dues i.e. rightful amount. But no cognizance was taken by them. This is also the intentionally harassment of me and my family.
  1. I had submitted ‘Appeal for Justice’ to the Competent Authority of the DRDO for my grievances and harassment. But instead of taking any cognizance, suitable action or giving any justice for the same, they have horribly punished me.

It means, ‘Asking for Justice is a Crime’ in DRDO! The Competent Authority of DRDO unnecessarily constrained me to file a various suits in the Hon’ble Courts for the Justice. After the dismissal order, I am jobless. I am highly qualified with 27 years well experienced officer from DRDO but disqualified for any service in the society because of my additional qualification is ‘Dismissal’ which was illegally and unauthorized awarded by the Competent Authority of DRDO. Hence, in all respect, this is very serious harassment and punishment for me.

  1. Sir, I have mentioned all the above irregularities and illegalities, involved in my suspension to dismissal, for your perusal please. I pray and request you to look in to the case and give me justice.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

Place: Pune

Date: 10.12.2014                                                               (Dr. R G Taware)                                                                                                                                                      Pune

Sir,

DRDO HQ is expert in constituting Fact Finding Committees in such a way that the first and final agenda is to any mean give the clean chit to allege officiasl. DRDO Hqrs. having a great track record for this.

  1. Sh Avinash Chander gave clean chit to Dr Arun Kumar, Ex DOP for involved in appointment of of his daughter, Dr W Selvamurthy’s daughter, Sh Bansal’s Daughter, Dr G. Elangovan’s wife etc. After intervention of Ex Defence Minister, Dr run Kumar suspended, facing disciplinary proceeding, his daughter Ms Swati & Mrs T Chandra Banu’s service annulled and rest Ms Geetha & Ms Dolly Bansal’s are in queue. The key person helping in this corrupt practice is Dr A K Singh, DOP, DRDO being staff officer of Dr W Selvamurthy the CC R&D (HR)
  2. Dr V Bhujanga Rao then CC R&D (HR) gave clean chit to Dr A K Maini, E Director LESTEC for giving CRS to Sh Praksh Singh, SAO, LASTEC, but what happened Sh Praksh Singh reinstate and Maini is fighting for his pension till date. The key person helping in this corrupt practice is Dr A K Singh, DOP, DRDO.
  3. Sh Avinash Chader made two Fact Finding Committees to find out Dr A K Saxena’s corrupt practices but only GOD or Dr A K Singh knows the truth. Now we are looking High Court Delhi for revealing the facts of Dr A K Saxena’s, Director, DMSRDE, Kanpur. The key person helping in this corrupt practice is Dr A K Singh, DOP, DRDO. Dr A K Singh submitted illegal affidavit to CAT Allahabad & High Court Allahabad to support most corrupt DMSRDE Director.
  4. Maj. Gen Ajay Gupta, Director, Vigilance is under pressure of Dr. A K Singh, DOP, DRDO, Hqrs because of Dr. A K Singh, DOP, DRDO, Hqrs aware all earlier co-operations done by Ajay Gupta with ex SA to RM.

It is requested that please see personally the investigation against Dr. A K Singh, DOP, DRDO, Hqrs. As you also aware that Dr. A K Singh role for harass Dr. Gauasal Khan, Sc D and Dr S Majumadar, Sc G in DIPAS. The reputation of DRDO administration is in the stake because of incompetent DOP, court cases are increasing day by day, officials are suffering sundry things like transfer/posting, SC/ST harassment and minority harassment cases are not dealing properly by DOP. After termination of Sh Avinash Chander Dr A K Singh’s illegal activities are down 50% but still your intervention is requested to give relief to DRDO officials from the panic of Dr A K Singh.
