Dear Dr V.K.Saraswat Sir, right under your nose some of the criminal act is going on.

It has come to my notice that SASTRA University, Thanjavur has submitted 34 projects proposal for sanction by DRDO Hqrs under various scheme. Out of 34, 14 projects have already been sanctioned.

Today under the patronage of Dr. W Selvamurthy, CC R&D (LS & HR) & DS different committees will discuss and approve the sanctions of rest of the projects submitted by SASTRA University, Thanjavar.

Such irregularities violates the objective of DRDO where to best of judgment the projects are to be granted to other universities between Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Gujrat to Itanager (Arunachal Pradesh)

           

If the facts remain unnoticed, proper RTI will be followed.

           

Hope you will take appropriate measures to maintain the dignity of DRDO.

Shameful day for DRDO. Five employees jailed

Dear Dr. Saraswat Ji Good Morning                                                      20^th July 2010

It is shameful day for DRDO because five employees were sent to jail yesterday evening for the fault which was purely generated due to irresponsibility of then Director IRDE Sh.JAR Krishnamurti.

Please remember the fatherly role played by the directors of DRDO labs like Sh Naryan Rao, Dr RP Shenoy, Dr E Bhagirath Rao, Dr R Hidyanath, the stalwarts of yester years. They were not only administrative head but behave as father/guardian figure and even family problem of colleagues were taken care by them.

The modern directors are selfish lot, they are bluffers and they always look for easy flow of money by any means in their pocket. Sh Sundarm when he joined as Director, IRDE, he would have to take corrective measure to solve the issue in front of his table. But he was only busy on TD see the data. The ignorance of small problem of union conflict was now gave a big shame for elite scientific community of DRDO.

The condition of DRDO is deterring fast and I wish  that from technical leadership you will also work for the cohesive environment of DRDO.

In my school days I was taught two stories which is relevant today and you might have read this but I have prefer to share with you as you are  commanding DRDO  you should know the faithfulness of your surroundings.

“There was four friends, a blacksmith, a tailor, a goldsmith and a pandit. They belongs to village and were going to earn money in the cities. While in journey they had to cross a dense jungle area. They decided that during night the first quarter from 6-9 will be guarded by blacksmith, 9-12 by tailor, 12-3 by Goldsmith and 3-6 by pandit. The blacksmith had to pass the time when other taking rest, he cut a wood piece and made a beautiful doll, the tailor in his turn made a beautiful dress, the goldsmith in his turn decorated the doll with ornaments. The pandit when he woke, he saw the beautiful doll and performed a puja. The doll become alive and converted into beautiful girl”

The story says that four people from different field were master and they have respect for each other. That’s why they were able to deliver the perfect output.

DRDO in which you are commanding people don’t have respect for each other. We malign  the image of scientific and technical community.

Second story “ A guru asked his disciples to bring a glass of milk, when they come to next morning to school. Every disciple thought that how any one notice if he carry a glass of water, because other will bring pure milk.. as result the earthen pot which  have supposed to be filled  with milk was now filled with water. Guru showed the earthen pot to every disciple and said that this is the truth.”

The story says that the everyone is cunning and they have not respected of truth.

In DRDO you are surrounded with such truthful scientist and technical experts. Who have least respect for the nation, they least bothered for national security, the tax payers money are paid to give milk, but every expert contributing glass of water. Yes something is flourishing i.e. corruption, nepotism, castism and regionalism. DRDO is now master in misappropriation of fund and misinterpretation of Government rules.

I have written to you several letters that I am a whistle blower and informed the  Government agencies time to time the ugly act of Dr.AS Bains, then Director DEAL and his close associates. The successive directors including DRDO Hqrs bolster   and openly helped/protect the culprits.

You are surrounded by the criminal elements who helped Dr.Bains to commit crime.

To save the DRDO do something big. Best of luck

Fighting Prevailing Corruption in DRDO

To                                                                                                          15^th July 2010

Shri Satpal Maharaj Ji,

Chairman, Committee of Defence

13, Municipal Road, Dehradun

Subject         : Fighting Prevailing Corruption in DRDO  

Reference     : You’re Visit to DEAL, Raipur Road, Dehradun on 16^th July 2010 A/N

Honorable Shri Satpal Ji Maharaj,

Heartily welcome to DEAL, Dehradun. We feel honored to welcome you in your constituency /city’s premier research centre of DRDO as a chairman, Committee of Defence.  Your responsibility multiplies when you are reporting back to honorable parliament the development witnessed here in DEAL, DRDO,  Dehradun.

1.       1.   DEAL is a nodal agency of defence communication system development and in 1995 the Govt. of India spent multi crores on a project of developing Nuclear Hardened Communication Terminal. DEAL did justice but what happened to further development and deployment, it is big question and today’s challenge for strategic defence preparedness.

2.      Like India our neighbor is also having nuclear arsenal. Have we explored the protection mechanism for our strategic commutation systems in the event of nuclear conflict? Please see what DEAL has done? 

3.      Being a Chairman, Committee of Defence it is your arena please analyze the reasons, why with a huge infrastructure and best manpower, DEAL, DRDO has failed to deliver a product (Communication Systems) especially during Kargil War.

The reasons are following please look and do the needful.

a)    Corruption
b)   Nepotism
c)    Castism

d)   Loss in faith in management

Due to above reasons lack of team sprit has inculcated which is the most important part of R&D success. Successive Director has [played with the sentiment and ignored the national defence need.

4.      Director, DEAL has planned to present you selected people of his choice and confidence  outside the main DEAL, building at SIDAC premises

5.      Please try to meet randomly to general DEAL officials from the various location and services like Technical Officers Associations, Admin Officers /Associations and DEAL Unions representatives to access the lacunas for remedial actions.

6.      Director, DEAL has made an effort to give you a gift (Goddess Idol) costing approx Rs 15000/- to specially purchased from Delhi by sending a senior Scientist Sh Hemant Gupta, Sc ’F’ on temporary duty (Government expenditure  on TD more than cost of gift)  to managing the show.

7.      The inefficiency, incompetence in the addressing the national security/defence isuues are almost visible everywhere. To guard the personal interest DRDO, Directors/ officers do not hesitate to spend Govt. funds in TA/DA for private journey specially to attend marriage parties of children of their immediate boss. ( Recently more than 110 officers from various DRDO labs attended the marriage party of Dr. R. Sreehari Rao, CC R&D’s daughter’s wedding)   

8.      The nation expects from your highness give an honest analysis of DEAL’s environment as gift to poor tax payers and help the organization to deliver a product of strategic defence importance.

Thanking you.

   ii)      CPIO, DEAL Letter DEAL/RTI/2010/Misc dated 29^th June 2010 Para – 4 information completely denied (Copy enclosed)

7. Brief facts of the case: 

Why did they call it sensitive? I never asked the project details, I only asked for the procurement details and they can’t be sensitive, because they are procured from an open market with tender.

Dr A.S Bains, then Director, DEAL, DRDO, Dehradun, when appointed in DRDO at DRDL, Hyderabad, who did the police verification? The Shah Times News Report (Copy enclosed) says that he might be relation with “Babar Khalsa” terrorist outfit, who was active in Punjab insurgency and had Hqrs in England.

The money minted by Dr. A. S. Bains with few of his close associates by establishing these fake firms might be used for supporting terrorist outfits. At that time Dr. A. S. Bains was the Director, DEAL; orders were placed with these firms for the supply of items in quantity with enormously high prices and siphoned the precious foreign currency.

DRDO Hqrs since the expose of this case has come under pressure and has declared the purchase made, as sensitive. The officers who were Scientist ‘C/D’ during that period, were given out of turn promotions as reward to conceal the facts. Sh. R.P. Dixit, Sc’G’ and holding presently the charge of CFA in DEAL, Sh.S.C Jain Sc’G’  due to retirement has been given two years extension. Dr. K.D.Nayak Sc ‘H’, CC R&D and Sushil Verma, Sc’F’ were involved and were the master designer of these procurement from fake firms and as well as concealing the facts.

Dr. V.K.Atre, then SA to RM has a very close association with Dr.AS Bains, in fact Dr.Atre made him member of Sh. Arun Singh committee on defence expenditure, when I brought the facts of Dr.AS Bains to then NSA, Sh Brijesh Mishra personally. Dr.AS Bains was removed by each and every committee and was confined to DEAL only until he retired.

The appellate authority of DRDO, Dr. Prahlada is committed to protect Dr. AS Bains and go to any extent to conceal the facts.

Only an independent agency is therefore required to investigate the total no of procurements cases / supplies under place with these fake firms and identify those culprits who still protecting the criminals.

During US sanction the uses of Custom Duty Exemption Certificates by these firms is required to be investigated, because to see the proximity with Dr.AS Bains the CDE’s might be used for benefiting terrorist outfits of Punjab.

i)      Both firms did business only with DEAL, Dehradun and belongs to one person  Lt.Col Deepak Badhwar, Resident of 37/7, Vijay Colony, Dehradun ( IB revealed and IB report is enclosed)

ii)     He is a good friend of Dr. A. S. Bains’s (then Director DEAL, Dehradun) ( News paper revealed copy enclosed)

iii)    Dr. A. S. Bains  (then Director DEAL, Dehradun) is a mysterious personality and might  be link with terrorist  as per news paper report (Paper cutting enclosed)

iv)   As per Tender Procurement Committee the supplied were state of art components/devices and were in the critical list of post US sanctions.   

v)    So question is whether both firms used CDE or not because they cannot import these items from US due to sanction.

vi)   It is the larger possibilities that with bonding with Dr. A. S. Bains the CDE might be used for support to terrorist outfit.

 Dr. A. S. Bains (then Director DEAL, Dehradun) aim was to damage the organization’s financial deals and help his friends, who were parting the hefty commission/omission. Example – a purchase of Digital display Synthesizer (DDFS) which was required for Composite Net Radio (CNR a prestigious project of DEAL), he directed project in-charge to put his friend’s company’s name (M/S Wave Components & Systems, 1409 W, Woodcrest, Fullerton CA 92833, USA) in the quotation enquiry. The best part of that the firm’s rep supplied the item in person (in the shape of scrape which is still lying with CNR project) at DEAL’s gate well before the quotation’s opening date and with item there were no papers enclosed that the items were imported from US. The plea was given by firm’s rep that his luggage was stolen at airport.  It can be verified with DEAL’s gate records. The matter was exposed by me, the file was closed but he had to give money to his friend, so again a new file was raised as per direction in proprietary base case with new nomenclature as DDES instead of DDFS, order were placed to US, LC opened, money was drawn but the item were not send from US. As expected that he had already delivered back at DEAL’s gate. After two years RBI asked for FE settlement, and then DEAL asked the firm to send anything against the said supply. But because of the Pokhran Blast, US sanction was imposed and company was not able to supply, but again they adopted DRDO’s Scientist gimmicked and arranged locally, a bogus airway bill no and with empty box they deposited via their Delhi based firm by courier. They forget that they established a relation between a firm and later on in other quotation they used this firm as their competitive.

Residence of Mr.ManiKant Takur as per US municipal records 

i)              Mr. Manikant Takur has accepted that he is good friend of Dr.A.S.Bains to Tahalka Correspondent Mr. Shashi

ii)             The above firms received crores of rupees order from DEAL. The origin and existence of this firm is also mysterious.

iii)            The firms deals with only DEAL, Dehradun

iv)           The firms have no dealership of any manufactures

v)            The firm does not have a single leaflet/brochure’s/any professional existing document which proves that they are very well in the business later on due course of CBI inquiry they generated few but they found bogus.

vi)           The firm supplied MMIC components/Li batteries, quartze crystal etc. It shows big variation in business field

vii)          The firm always asked for splitting the order because to avoid FERA and other agencies who normally not bother for small transactions.

viii)         The asked for change the nomenclature of the items so it can help to fool, financial member, custom authorities and US commerce department.

ix)           Not a single fruitful output was generated by DEAL by using items supplied by said firm. If one can go for physical verification will find the only scarp, in case of 35 GHz Down Converter the CBI, Dehradun was found that out of 150 nos half were not working, some odd 20+ were pasted without use or any output and some they said were given to Project Trishul (i.e 18 GHz project not 35 GHz) and rest to CERI, Pilani. It is a complete eyewash.

x)            What was the DEAL’s  gain, all scientists who helped in procurement got outstanding reports and got promotions the main example Dr.KD Nayak presently holding post  of CC R&D and Mr. Sushil Kumar Verma presently Sc ‘F’ and recently posted to DRDO Hqrs with Dr KD Nayak, so they can again create a new gimmick.

After Pokhran Blast all pending orders of M/S Wave Components & Systems,  1409 W, Woodcrest, Fullerton  CA 92833, USA  were converted in RE and diverted to garment and rice exporter firms belongs to Dr. Bains landlord Lt Col Deepak Badhwar.

Components for quotations game.

Just to compete the coram for quotation formalities they included two more firms name which do not exist in US.( I have collected sufficient evidences in respect which can be produce to government investigation agencies)

Dr. AS Bains also violated the govt. rules by asking quotation from US based firms during US sanctions for just route the money of poor tax payers of India.  Anyone can imagine the quotations are coming from US and TPC reflecting in the minutes these companies are well known firms in their field based on the DEAL’s procurement records.

Sir, have any finance rep ever asked about the credential of any firms or verify with any other lab or source, I can understand the pressure on other TPC members because they are from DRDO and always worried for their carriers.

Under the forging details there is no room to allow the culprits to go scot free. Anyone asks details from various investigation agencies who have worked in this respect and are perplexed. Please contact Major Chetri, then in-charge, MI, Dehradun, Mr. Bist, then SP, CBI, Dehradun, IB, Dehradun, Director, CAG, Dehradun.

This is a tip of iceberg if you people allow me to work with financial agencies for uprooting the corruption in DRDO; I can produce tons of information and info related to their modus of operandi.

8. Reasons/grounds for this appeal:
   i) It is clear cut case of corruption and national security interest.

ii) A holistic approach of expose the weak procurement process of DRDO as a façade.

             

9 Any other information in support of appeal:
