SUBJECT: Request for the sanction of fund from Prime Minister’s relief fund for filing PIL

Honorable Sir,

                          The foul smell coming out of DRDO in particular the misuse of government funds and misinterpretation of government rules have been sent to successive government since 2001.

So far barring a few dent the fundamental change expected by countryman have not been observed, may the reason known to successive Defence Ministers.

There was growing hope of countries scientific fraternity and as well as common man of India that Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji will take appropriate action against the corrupt officials of DRDO. When several cases of extensions were put up for approval it was denied. The culprits were furious and looking for safe exit, however, when the contractual appointment of Sh Avinash Chander, DG, DRDO, SA to RM, Secretary, DRD was continued, the message delighted the corrupt officials, operating within the four walls of DRDO.

DRDO can spend government fund for manufacturing Silver Rath of Rs 2.5 Crores without having any approval from competent authority. The existence of Controller Defence Accounts is also not visible. And above all our government is keep mum on this unethical, irresponsible act of DRDO bosses.

Sir, an enclosed PIL is almost ready for submission to honorable court and we seek financial assistance for national interest from Prime Minister’s relief fund as court expenditure for the sake timely action to save premier defence organisation of the country.

Thanking You

श्रीमान, डीआर डी ओ द्वारा  सर्विस एक्सटेंशन की यू पी ए सरकार के माध्यम एक प्रथा ही बना डाली थी।  सर्विस  एक्सटेंशन सिर्फ  उन सीनियर अधिकारीयों को मिलता जो की  भ्रष्टाचार में लिप्त होते थे या भ्रष्टाचार में सहायक की भूमिका निभाने के लिए हामी भरते थे।  डी आर डी ओ द्वारा  सर्विस एक्सटेंशन की संस्तुति का केवल एकमात्र यही एक योग्यता मापदंड था। इसके लिए विकिलीक्स के एक केबल में यू पी ए सरकार द्वारा श्री प्रणब मुखर्जी रक्षा मंत्रालय से हटाने का कारण उनका पार्टी फण्ड के लिए अपने मत्रांलय से पैसा एकत्र न करने पर श्रीमती सोनिया गांधी व् तत्कालीन पी एम श्री मनमोहन सिंह ने उन्हें रक्षा मंत्री के पद से हटा कर श्री एंटोनी को रक्षा मंत्रालय दे दिया गया। उसका परिणाम पूरा देश अगस्ता वेस्टलैंड से लेकर डीआर डी ओ के बर्ह्मोस से लेकर अग्नि 1,2,3,4,5 ………….. के नाम पर चल रहे भ्रष्टाचार के खुले खेल को देख रहा है।

ANTONY NAMED MINISTER OF DEFENSE REF: NEW DELHI 7338 Classified By: Pol Couns Ted Osius for reasons 1.4 (B,D) 2. (C) Our sources tell us that Congress Party President Sonia Gandhi and PM Singh needed to get Pranab Mukherjee out of his post as Minister of Defense because he was not sufficiently zealous in raising funds for the party. Mukherjee finally accepted the move after receiving reassurances that he would remain in charge of the many Ministerial Committees that help him maintain his domestic power base. The shift of Mukherjee to External Affairs left open the post of Minister of Defense, which A.K. Antony accepted. Antony’s opponents question his ability to thrive in this high level, high profile position. His reputation for integrity is expected to slow down pending deals, as Antony learns the ropes and carefully examines all contracts, including pending arms deals with the U.S. Antony will bring much needed probity to defense acquisitions just before a large number of big deals are about to be considered.

परन्तु आपने आते ही इस प्रथा का अंत करने करने के निर्देश दिए तथा सर्विस एक्सटेंशन के योग्यता मापदंड के अनुसार ही दिया जाय इसका कड़ा निर्देश दिया पुरानी समिति भंग कर दी। किन्तु आप भूल गए कि इन भ्रष्ट डी आर डी ओ अधिकारियों / तथाकित वैज्ञानिको के मुँह में  सर्विस एक्सटेंशन का खून लग चूका है।  इसके लिए डी आर डी ओ  ने एक्सटेंशन पर नई रिसर्च की है, उसको नया नाम डी आर डी ओ फ़ेलोशिप का दिया  गया है।

आप के नाक के नीचे बैठे अधिकारी अभी पूरी तरह से आपकी भ्रष्टाचार रहित कार्यप्रणाली  को ठीक  से समझ नहीं पाये है और इन तथाकथित  वैज्ञानिको के जाल में फंस कर नियम विरुद्ध संस्तुति प्रदान कर रहे है। इसका  ताजा तरीन उदहारण है डॉ ए के गुप्ता और डॉ सुधाकर कोसितम्बर माह 2014 से नयी नयी पैदा हुई डी आर डी ओ फ़ेलोशिप से नवाजा गया है। डॉ ए के गुप्ता जोकि दो साल के एक्सटेंशन में आई आर डी ई, डी आर डी ओ, देहरादून में निदेशक के पद अभी 31 अगस्त 2014 को पदमुक्त हुए है।यह उनकी डी आर डी ओ के उच्च अधिकारियो पर उनकी पक्कड़ का असर दिखता है।

डी आर डी ओ फ़ेलोशिप आपके द्वारा की गयी एक्सटेंशन में की गयी सख्ती का तोड़ है।

डी आर डी ओ फ़ेलोशिप को 12 सितम्बर 2014 को  वित्त मंत्रालय  द्वारा संस्तुति प्रदान की गयी और अंडर सेक्रेटरी रक्षा मंत्रालय 16 सितम्बर 2014 को डॉ ए के गुप्ता को डी आर डी ओ फ़ेलोशिप (63000 रूपए प्रति माह और वर्ष में तीन लाख रूपए टी ऐ / डी ऐ)  देते  हुए डील, डी आर डी ओ, देहरादून में अगले तीन वर्षो नियुक्त कर दिया।

आश्चर्य का विषय यह है कि डॉ ए के गुप्ता की नियुक्ति जिस कार्य के लिए की गयी है “Blue Green Laser under water communication especially for submarine communication applications”

इस विषय में  डॉ ए के गुप्ता कभी भी कुछ किसी भी तरह का कार्य या शोध या कभी कोई प्रेजेंटेशन तक नहीं किया अथार्थ दूर दूर तक विषय से डॉ ए के गुप्ता सम्बन्ध नहीं रहा है।

अभी हमारी पनडुब्बियों को संचार के लिए समुद्र की सतह पर आना पड़ता है। सूर्य का प्रकाश ही समुद्र की तहलटी तक पहुँचता है और इसी से ब्लू ग्रीन लेज़र तकनीक का सहारा लेकर पनडुब्बी से समुद्र भीतर संचार संभव हो पाया है।

यह तकनीक  विश्व में सिर्फ अमेरिका व् चीन के पास उपलब्ध है। अमेरिका ने अंटालिक में बहुत से प्रयोगो के बाद सफलता पायी व् चीन के पास उपग्रह उपग्रह से सीधा समुद्र में पानी के अंदर स्थित पनडुब्बी संचार करने की तकनीकी उपलब्ध है।

आशा है कि आप इन भ्रष्ट डी आर डी ओ अधिकारियों के उलटे सीधे निरुद्देश्य, लक्ष्यहीन, अर्थहीन व् अव्यवहारिक परियोजनाओं और प्रस्तावों को पुनमूल्यांकन के लिए अपने अधिकारिओं को आदेश देंगे जिससे आपकी भ्रष्टाचार मुक्त गवर्नेंस के मिशन को पूर्ण करने की तरफ एक कदम बढ़ेगा ।

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.

DRDO corruption’s Heights that they even not leave the Knowledge Corner (Library)

Subject: DRDO corruption’s Heights that they even not leave the Knowledge Corner (Library)

Honorable Sir,

To enhance the knowledge of DRDO scientists and make them updated, Ministry of Defence provide library grant generously. Apart from this the pay commission has recommended special assistance for the purchasing of books/journals to individuals scientist.

The library budget of DRDO’s laboratory is a lucrative assignment for corrupt scientists. The scientist library in-charge has direct access to head of establishment.

The case of corruption in library procurement was first exposed at DIAT, Pune, where then In-charge Library Dr A K Tyagi, Sc ‘F’ did financial manipulation in Library. CVC has been found prima facie material against Dr A K Tyagi.  And Regular Disciplinary action was recommended on: 9/9/2013. Consequently DRDO Hqrs finally charge sheeted on 8th October 2013. Charge Sheet signed by Honorable Defence Minister, Sh A K Antony.

The case of Dr A K Tyagi, Sc ‘G’ is not an isolated case but DRDO labs in general have misusing the library grants and if serious enquiry is set up every lab will give foul smell.

The recent example of DMSRDE, Kanpur’s library procurement cases revealed the astonishing facts and figures of library procurement. The RTI helped to expose the corrupt practice prevailing in library procurements.

Enclosed case revealed that the DMSRDE officials are not following the DRDO Purchase Manual -2006. Even after cancellation of Supply Orders on 23 August 2012 the invoices dated 02 May 2012 were accepted while Supply Orders were placed on 27 April 2012. Thereby mischievously & fraudulently the supply of books were accepted in back date to get fatty commission from these vendors. This gross violation of rules & blunder took place even after cancellations of Supply Orders establish conspiracy against Government by Mr.  Jitendra Yadav and Dr. A.K. Saxena.

DRDO has become hub of corruption and honorable defence minister is requested to take a strong action to prevent further damage of moral and ethics.

It was mentioned in Para (2) of Terms & Conditions of Supply Order “This supply order shall automatically stand cancelled w.e.f. the next day after the date of delivery mentioned in this order”. Therefore supply orders were automatically stand cancelled after 90 days from issue of Supply Order (27 April 2012) i.e. w.e.f.  27 July 2012. Copies of letters No. TL/0510/WBF-2012 dated 23rd August 2012 issued for cancellation of supply orders to four vendors are enclosed as Annexure-24 to Annexure-27.

  7. 12.      During the FY 2012-2013 the following irregularities, gross violations of rules, loss of public fund and Corruption took place in procurement of Books.

  8. MAJOR FINANCIAL IRREGULARITIES & BLUNDERS IN PROCUREMENT OF BOOKS BY  MR. JITEDNRA YADAV, SCIENTIST ‘E’ & DR. A.K. SAXENA, DIRECTOR

    1)          DRDO Manual of Procedures for Management of Libraries and TIC 1999 as amended and Purchase Management 2006 as amended are being used in DMSRDE, Kanpur for procurement of books & periodicals. Rule 4.2 of Chapter 4 (ACQUISITION) of Manual is applicable for procurement of Books & Monographs. Copy of relevant rules of chapter 4 are enclosed as Annexure-50.

    2)           As per Rule 4.2.2 of this Manual selection of vendors should be made on the basis of their past services provided to the library, distributorship of publishers and infrastructure available with them. In the years 2009-2010, 2010-2011 & 2011-2012 there was almost no supply of books and only three vendors get supply orders in 2009-2010 and supplied books. Also these vendors offered 30% discount on books (Foreign & Indian).

    3)          In the FY 2009-2010 mode of tendering was limited tender of PM 2006 to get better discount and competition to save public money and this results 30% discount on books.

    4)          In FY 2012-2013 violations of rules and procedures of procurement of books were grossly violated to achieve fatty commission that results financial loss to exchequer. Supply Orders were issued to vendors without keeping in view the past services of the vendors. This results cancellation of all supply orders that took place on 27 April 2012. Hence these vendors should be blacklisted for further procurement of books in Library. But even after non-supply and automatic cancellation of supply orders after expiry of delivery period of 90 days, the supply orders were issued to same vendors on 17 August 2012.

    5)          Supply Orders were placed on single tender and 10% discount to pet vendors of Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director and all vendors were from New Delhi only. Adopting the process of single tender with 10% discount without following previously adopted procedure of limited tender where vendors were offering discount of 35% – 40% on purchase of foreign books, resulted huge loss of public money and commission making by Mr. Jitendra Yadav and Dr. A.K. Saxena.

    6)          Even after cancellation of Supply Orders on 23 August 2012 the invoices dated 02 May 2012 were accepted while Supply Orders were placed on 27 April 2012. Thereby mischievously & fraudulently the supply of books were accepted in back date to get fatty commission from these vendors. This gross violation of rules & blunder took place even after cancellations of Supply Orders establish conspiracy against Government by Mr.  Jitendra Yadav and Dr. A.K. Saxena.

    7)          There was no procedure followed for selection of books. In fact there was no requirement of books from Scientists as no demands were made. There was no procurement of books in past two years and only Rs. 94833.00 was expenditure in purchase of books in FY 2009-2010.

    8)          It is crystal clear that Corruption took place in FY 2012-2013 where all of sudden books of Rs. 1467810.00 has been procured while in previous years it was “NIL” or very less Rs. 94833.00 only in 2009-10. Demand of books which was NIL (Zero) in 2010-11 and 2011-12 has increased all of sudden near about to the Rupees 15 Lakh. As compared to purchase of books in FY 2009-10 the hike in 2012-13 is about 15.5 times. This indicates that books were purchased without any need and requirement just to earn fatty commission.

    9)          DRDO is having very old manual issued on 11 January 1999 regarding Management of Library/TIC of DRDO. This manual is called as “DRDO Manual of Procedures for Management of Libraries & Technical Information Centres“. After issuance of Purchase Manual -2006 of DRDO this old Manual became ineffective & obsolete. Most of the DRDO Labs/Estt. are using Purchase Manual for procurement of books, Print Journal and Online E-Journals. DMSRDE is also using PM-2006 from last six years for procurement of books, Print  Journal and Online E-Journals as can be verified from records of Technical Library of DMSRDE, Kanpur. All of sudden making purchase of books on the basis of old manual smacks malafide intentions and leads corruption in purchase of books in FY 2012-2013. In fact in year 2012-2013 provisions of DRDO Manual of Procedures for Management of Libraries & Technical Information Centres has not been fully followed. Purchase procedures of DRDO Manual are for small & urgent procurement not for big procurements in tune of lakh or crores.

    10)      Fatty Commission in Procurement of books in FY 2012-2013: Books of Rs. 1467810.60 were purchased at discount of 10% only while in year 2009-2010 the discount on books was 30%. Even in FY 2011-2012 the offered discount by vendors were 35% and now days vendors are offering 40% discount on foreign books. Therefore books were purchased at very high prices on very low discount of 10% only with gross violation & spirit of Purchase Procedures to get maximum discount in open competition under limited tender to save public money. Therefore Rs. 440343.00 (30% of 1467810.00) had taken as fatty commission by Mr. Jitendra Yadav and Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE.

    11)      Fraudulent supply of books with fake invoices: In FY 2012-2013 four vendors   submitted invoices dated 02 May 2012 against the supply orders dated 27 April 2012 while these Supply orders were cancelled on 23 August 2012 by Mr. Jitednra Yadav, Scientist ‘E’ , Head, Technical Library. The supply on 02 May 2012 was impossible as it takes at least 5 days to reach speed post from DMSRDE dispatch section to the respective vendor. The details /entries of invoices shows that these invoices were not diarised at Director Office central registry and directly entertained by Head, Technical Library. Besides the verification records like receiving of invoices & books at Technical Library, envelops of invoices, CRV, payments by ACDA & records at Finance Division will disclose the whole conspiracy made in procurement of books in back date even after cancellation of supply orders.

    12)      Splitting of consolidated demand of books in four parts: Dr. Arvind Kumar Saxena split the consolidated demand of books in four parts and misused his official position & powers so that he can get fatty commission from his pet vendors. The books should be procured in one consolidated demands with proper negotiations with vendors to get maximum discount offered in open market. Four supply orders were issued on 27 April 2012 to four vendors that were not made any supply in past four financial years in DMSRDE. This splitting of books demand leads loss to public fund and Corruption of Rs. 440343.00 by Mr. Jitendra Yadav and Dr. A.K. Saxena, Director, DMSRDE. Sprit of Purchase Rules and CVC Guidelines is that “The proposals shall not be split merely to bring them within the delegated powers”.

    CHARGES ON DR. ARVIND KUMAR SAXENA, DIRECTOR, DMSRDE

    1. Misuse of power & position for personal gain
    2. Splitting of demands of books in four parts to get fatty commission
    3. Planned conspiracy to accept supply even after cancellation of Supply Orders

    CHARGES ON MR. JITENDRA, SCIENTIST ‘E’, HEAD, TECHNICAL LIBRARY

SUBJECT: LTC Scam in DRDO Labs

The scientists from DRDO are involved in LTC scam

According to DoPT guidelines issued time to time, DRDO officials can avail LTC80 scheme for self and their wards.

Taking the privilege some of the scientists / officials have found out the method to temper normal e-tickets of Air India to LTC80 tickets.

This way the government is paying more and Air India is getting less, the balance amount goes to the pocket of individuals.

Sh G S Malik, Director, DTRL, DRDO received written complaints on 31st December 2013 and 1st January 2014 of this racket which was run by a scientist of DRTL, DRDO, Ministry of Defence.

An inquiry committee was setup and the finding reveals that LTC claim was settled with doctored / tempered Air India E- tickets.

Sh G S Malik, Director, DTRL, DRDO reported immediately  this matter to Director Vigilance, DRDO Hqrs vide letter No DTRL/Dir/Vig_LTC/2014 dated 3rd January 2014 along with evidences. Copy enclosed for ready reference.

The interesting facts is that top DRDO official a CC R&D instructed to Director, Vigilance & Security to rafa/dafa/ buried this case.

DRDO lab loosed their credentials, the morals, the values, ethics and highly place officials of DRDO has gone down to such an extent that the youngsters of DRDO are at the loss.

Honourable Defence Minister has taken strong action against some top officials, who played with constitutional authorities based on the recommendation of CVC & CVO, MoD.

This LTC scam is not only pertain to DRTL but if examined thoroughly more than 100 cases from  will found from Delhi based DRDO Labs.

For your ready reference the sample e- ticket which was booked by one Sc’D’, DTRL using his credit card for Sh Sanjeev Kumar, Sc ‘D’, LASTEC, DRDO. It clearly indicates that scam is not limited to DTRL.

It is requested that the competent authority may please be directed for through investigation in DTRL, LASTEC, DIPAS, INMAS, CEPTAM, SAG, ISSA, SSPL, DIPR, CFEES etc. and CC R&D should not be allowed to jeopardize the investigation.
