Illegal Appointment of Sh A .K Musla, Ex Scientist ‘G’, IRDE, DRDO, Dehradun in Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Kotdwara

Leave a comment
Mr. Anil Kumar, Chairman and Managing Director,
Bharat Electronics Limited,
Corporate Office,
Outer Ring Road, Nagavara,
Bangalore – 560045

Dear Mr Anil Kumar,

BEL is backbone of our defence services and contributes in specialized system needs of our forces as well as paramilitary forces.

BEL has always been associated with DRDO in several areas and fields and the joint venture has always given great results. But unfortunately corruption is also growing very fast in our defence sector. In DRDO, you must be well aware, how in name of secrecy and R&D unlimited funds are managed. There is no accountability in DRDO and scientists are utilizing their brains and skills to fool our country’s people by applying numerous methodologies, like changing nomenclature of items, changing specifications, rotating the same items as surplus available in labs, in customizing the systems purchased at exorbitant prices. These are common practices in DRDO but with fast development of communication systems and easy access to databases these corrupt practices are starting to get exposed.

Recently after superannuation Sh A .K Musla, Scientist ‘G’, IRDE, DRDO, Dehradun joined Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Kotdwara. Please find the RTI application to DRDO and copy of reply by DRDO Hqrs. This practice is adopted by corrupt DRDO scientists; they join various institutions/ organization where commercial interests between both organizations exist. Dr W Selvamurthy (Dr in YOGA from Private Institute) has joined Amity Group as President, Amity Science, Technology and Innovation Foundation (ASTIF) and Chair professor, Life Sciences without obtaining the required NOC from government of India. Recently Defence Minister recommended CBI inquiry against top DRDO officials and Dr W Selvamurthy is one of them.

Sir, I have sent an RTI to Ms. Vanitha Bhandari, MANAGER (HR&A) PIO, Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) Kotdwara-246149, Dist. Pauri Gharwal, Uttarakhand and till date have received no communication from, BEL Kotdwara.

It is requested that if you could please look into the matter and do needful to stop the corrupt practices prevailing in BEL with the help of DRDO officials. It would be a great contribution towards a corruption free India.

Regards
