UP officer alleges corruption, cops dump him in hospital

Bhupendra Pandey, Sat, Nov 05, 2011, Lucknow:

IPS Devendra Dutt Misra is dragged from his office in Lucknow Friday.

A senior police officer was bodily lifted by police and dragged kicking and screaming from his office in Lucknow this evening, hours after he alleged massive corruption and embezzlement of funds in the purchase of equipment and other material. Police said the officer appeared to have a “mental problem”.

Devendra Dutt Misra, a deputy inspector general at the UP Fire Service Headquarters, had alleged earlier in the evening that the entire state government from the highest to the lowest levels was corrupt. He was compelled to speak, Misra said, because he had been awakened — “jaagrook ho gayaa hoon”.

Misra, who was promoted to the IPS in 1992 and is due to retire in two years, said he would make public files containing evidence of corruption. “I have told my wife and children that I can be murdered or sent to jail at any time,” he said.

He alleged that senior officials had siphoned off crores in the purchase of water tanks, and that Fire Service ADG Harish Chandra Singh had pressured him to clear the files.

ADG Singh denied the charge. ADG (Law & Order) Subesh Kumar Singh said he had received no complaints.

Late this evening, a police team stormed Misra’s office and took him to the CSMMU Trauma Centre. Lucknow DIG D K Thakur told The Indian Express that the DIG was “behaving abnormally and seemed to have some mental problem”.

Soon afterward, the state government issued a statement saying Misra’s allegations would be investigated and action will be taken.

Minister’s PA, assistant and clerk arrested for taking bribe

Express news service, Fri, Sep 23, 2011, Mumbai:

The Mumbai unit of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Thursday caught the personal assistant (PA), assistant and clerk of the Minister for School Education red-handed for allegedly accepting bribe. The officials were arrested from Mantralaya after a trap was laid by the ACB.

According to ACB officers, PA Deepak Karande, clerk Pravin Bodke and assistant Prashant Andhare were arrested after they allegedly sought bribe from a complainant. “The complainant is the secretary of an educational institution. He had sent a proposal to start English medium in the institution for Class VIII to XII. The file was pending here, so the complainant went to meet Andhare,” said an ACB officer.

“Andhare told the complainant he will forward the file to higher authorities if he was given Rs 50,000. When the complainant said he couldn’t shell out such a large sum, Andhare told him to give Rs 30,000, failing which he would not send the file for approval,” said the officer.

Seeing that Andhare will not budge, the complainant paid him Rs 15,000. Andhare then told him that he will forward the file only when the complainant pays up the remaining amount. He also told him to speak to the minister’s PA for further work.

“The complainant then went to the PA, who asked him for Rs 90,000. Tired of paying bribes, he filed a written complaint against the assistant and the PA. A trap was then laid for them,” the officer said.

A team of ACB officials waited outside and as the two accused took bribe and were arrested. “They confessed that they asked for a bribe. The PA was caught while he was taking part payment of Rs 50,000. We also arrested the clerk Bodke who also asked the complainant for Rs 15,000. Further investigations are on,” said the officer.

Soon, a 24X7 helpline to register bribe complaints

PTI, New Delhi, October 21, 2011

Harassed by corrupt babus demanding bribe or delaying work?

Aggrieved persons will soon be able to seek help through a 24X7 toll free number, 1964, to be made functional by the Central Vigilance Commission.

According to country’s anti-corruption watchdog officials, the number will act as a one-stop solution for all complaints related to corruption.

“The anti-bribery helpline will assist complainants in their problems related to unnecessary lingering of work in a concerned government department due to demand of undue favours or gratification by public servants,” a CVC official said.

He said a full-fledged call centre will also be set up to provide services round the clock.

“People will be able to register complaints related to bribery being faced by them in all the central government ministries, departments and public sector units, among others,” the official said.

However, complaints related to Delhi Government or its departments will not be resolved through the proposed helpline or by the Commission since it does not come under its jurisdiction.

The number, 1964, assumes significance as the Central Vigilance Commission was set up in February 1964 by the government.

“We have worked out the technical modalities with the Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL). There are few things needed to be worked out with other stake holders. We plan to start it within two-months time,” the official said.

Presently, the CVC has a toll free number 1800-11-0180 and 011-24651000 which is operational between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. from Monday to Friday.

“The 1964 will be working seven days and there will be no such time limitation to register complaints,” the official added.

Ex-cop gets 3 years in jail in graft case

New Delhi, October 03, 2011

A former police officer has been given a three-year jail term by the Delhi high court for demanding a monthly bribe of Rs 10,000 from a businessman in 1995.

Upholding the trial court's conviction order against Satish Chandra, posted as sub-inspector at Vasant Kunj police station at the time of the incident, the court dismissed his appeal and directed to take him to custody forthwith.

“I am of the view that the appeal is without merit and hence, consequently deserves to be dismissed... Resultantly, the accused shall be taken into custody forthwith," the court said, while rejecting the judgements cited by Chandra to defend himself in the case.

Govt official jailed for taking bribe to disburse compensation to Sikh riot victims

Express News Service, Fri, Sep 02, 2011, New Delhi:

A Delhi government official has been sentenced to three and half years in jail by a court for taking bribe from a 1984 anti-Sikh riots victim for releasing compensation to the family.

Special CBI Judge Dharmesh Sharma on Thursday sentenced 53-year-old Naib Tehsildar I K Takkar, a revenue clerk posted in the office of Najafgarh Sub Divisional Magistrate in West Delhi, for taking bribes five years ago.

“To my mind, the convict, in spite of being a public servant, was totally oblivious of the pain and suffering of the riot victims and by demanding and accepting the bribe from the complainant showed utter lack of sensitivity and depraved human approach,” the judge said, while also imposing a fine of Rs 25,000 upon the convict.

Takkar, who was dealing with disbursement of compensation to 1984 anti-Sikh riot victims, was found guilty of demanding a bribe of Rs 10,000 from Gurmeet Singh Kapoor in August 2006 for releasing over Rs two lakh to him as compensation for the death of his grandfather Inder Singh Kapoor and uncle Paramjeet Singh Kapoor in the pogroms, which took place in the aftermath of the assassination of former PM Indira Gandhi. Takkar was arrested by CBI for allegedly accepting the bribe money in a trap laid by CBI following Kapoor’s complaint.

During the trial, Takkar had contended that the money had been thrust into his hands but the court rejected it saying, “when money was so thrust upon him, assuming his version to be true for the sake of convenience, he did not protest nor made any hue and cry or threw it away”.

DC says he has to take permission of Commissioner to not take bribes

It is no secret that residents of the national capital face rampant corruption that exists in various government offices, but if the attitude of the government officials is anything to go by then the wait for a corruption free country is a long one. This was what people learnt when they visited the Deputy Commissioner office, Central District, Daryaganj, New Delhi launching the “Say No To Bribe” campaign.

Nearly 100 people had gathered at DC office with a declaration in hand stating that the offices of the DC office would not accept bribe or allow their colleagues to take bribe. Surprisingly, the Deputy Commissioner, Akash Mohapatra, outrightly refused to sign the declaration saying that he would have to first seek the permission of the Commissioner. Yashwant Singh, an IAC volunteer, who was a part of a team of three persuading the DC to sign the declaration, informed that the DC fist said that they were not allowed to do so under existing rules. However, he had no answer when he was asked to cite the rules. Later the DC said he can sign the declaration only if the Commissioner permits. He also asked the volunteers to visit the commissioner’s office which was nearby to seek permission. Rajkumar, another member of the team, said, “It is shocking that the DC refused to sign a piece of paper that just said he would neither indulge in corruption himself nor allow his colleagues to do so.” This was contrary to the attitude of some of the junior staff who willingly signed the declaration. In total, 21 officers signed the declaration.

The volunteers proceeded to paste stickers stating “Bhrashtachar Nished” (corruption free zone) across the campus. The volunteers then peacefully sat outside the office of the DC shouting slogans of “Inqalab Zindabad”, “Bharat Mata ki Jai” and “Red-Tapism Down Down”. However, this had no effect on the DC who quietly left the office premises without signing any declaration.

They sat in protest outside the office of the DC till late evening. Later the volunteers left the venue vouching to come back again.

The “Say No to Bribe” campaign was launched under the banner of India Against Corruption. Starting this week, the volunteers plan to visit various government offices with the tricolor in hand and get declarations signed from officials. Similar initiatives are already being held in Mumbai, Pune, and Chennai.

UP transport staff kill truck driver for refusing bribe

Agencies, Mon, Sep 26, 2011, Chandauli, Uttar Pradesh:

A truck driver was killed today allegedly by Road Transport Office (RTO) staffers after he refused to pay bribe during a vehicle checking drive in Naubatpur locality in Sayyadraza area here, police said.

Anant Lal Gupta, 50, from Kaushambi district, was allegedly beaten to death around 5 am by some members of the RTO staff, Superintendent of Police Shalabh Mathur, said.

The victim's son Ashwini, 23, who worked as a cleaner with his father, said: “One of the constables of the RTO Department took the vehicle for weighing centre and found the truck was not overloaded. He still demanded Rs 1,000.”

His father was willing to pay only Rs 500 after which the RTO constables and one Shiv Kumar of the weighing centre beat him brutally, causing his death, he said.

After the incident, angry locals blocked the National Highway-2 in protest and turned violent, pelting stones at the police when they tried to disperse the crowd, Mathur said.

A police constable was injured in the incident. The police fired in the air and baton-charged crowds to control the situation, he said. An FIR has been registered in the incident, Mathur added.

Corrupt babus will now face pension cut

Press Trust of India, Mon, Sep 12, 2011, New Delhi:

Mere retirement will not be a ground for dropping proceedings against corrupt government servants who will now face a 10 per cent cut in pension in case of minor penalty. The present major penalty of compulsory retirement with full benefits will be changed hereafter with a cut of 20 per cent in pension.

The new rules will be effective under decisions made in the first report of the Group of Ministers (GoM) on Corruption headed by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.

In a bid to tackle corruption and to fast track cases of public servants accused of graft, the GoM has decided to eliminate certain tiers in consultation process.

The government’s decisions come in the wake of Anna Hazare’s anti-corruption campaign for a Lokpal Bill that would also cover bureaucratic graft.

Until now, a government servant on the verge of retirement can escape proceedings for minor penalty. The GoM has now decided mere superannuation should not be a ground for dropping proceedings for minor penalty.

A cut in pension upto 10 per cent may be imposed in case of minor penalty. This cut will have a ceiling of five years as a life-long reduction in pension would come under the category of major penalty.

The existing major penalty of compulsory retirement with full benefits may be changed to compulsory retirement along with a provision that the competent authority may impose upto 20 per cent cut in pension.

However, there would be no cut in pension in the cases of compulsory retirement of officers being weeded out for non-performance.

The GoM has also decided to make the departments and ministries to primarily use serving officers as Inquiry and Presenting Officers in one of the steps towards speeding up the inquiry proceedings.

In important cases, the officers may request the Central Vigilance Commission to appoint their Commissioner of Direct Inquiries as IO. The GoM is also of the opinion that CVC may also maintain a panel of IOs and POs from among retired officers after screening and empanelment. They could also be engaged on the advice of the CVC.

Taking into account that delays in sanction of prosecution of public servants, the GoM says that it was imperative that sanction should be decided expeditiously and within the prescribed time-frame of 3 months.

10 DJB officials under CBI scanner

HT Correspondent, Hindustan Times, New Delhi, September 16, 2011

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday registered cases against 10 officials of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) and five of its private contractors over alleged irregularities and illegalities related to the award of its tubewell installation contracts worth Rs. 1.35 crore in the city’s water-deficient parts.

Though the DJB had made the full payment of Rs. 1.35 crore to the five contractors, work at several tubewell installation projects allegedly never started, said a CBI source. The contracts were issued between 2008 and 2010 for installation of tubewells, especially in Delhi’s western parts.

Among the DJB officials mentioned in the FIRs, included the name of executive engineer P K Jain. During searches conducted at the 14 official and residential premises belonging to the accused persons in the city, the CBI seized cash worth Rs. 9.36 lakh, a large amount of jewellery, and documents related to bank lockers from Jain’s residence, said the source.

As part of an alleged conspiracy between the accused officials and the contractors, the DJB was made to make full payment, according to preliminary findings by the agency. “An examination of their work showed that several of the tubewell installation contracts were not executed at all though the contracted firms had already received full payments from the DJB,” said a CBI source.

The source added, “We found that several other such projects were left incomplete but still the accused DJB officials had approved them and sanctioned the payments to the contractors.”

The contractors were also found to have used sub-standard material for their contracts. “Despite the deficiencies in the execution of the contracts, the accused DJB officials had passed the bills of the contractors knowing well that the work was either not executed or sub-standard material had been used,” said the source.

Other DJB officials mentioned in the FIRs include assistant engineer B D Arya and junior engineers Ashok Panwar, Rafiul Islam and Hari Singh. The contractors who have been named in the FIRs include Water Well, RB Sales and OM Decorators.

Aagaaz.. It's my turn !!

Dear Friends,

I’m a common man!! going through a tough phase .. I see a revolution happening.. I see thousands of people, a new courage, a lot of hope, a spirit to do something!! We have been dying to see this for years !!

Either I am glued to the TV or I want to remain at Ramlila maidan. Not just to be a part of it, but I really want to hold this energy.. I want to convey something.. ask something!!

I want to make sure that this sea of people, remain a part of this change.. so that we understand that there’s a lot to do..Anna has started.. it has to go on..not only at Ramlila maidan but at every level, at different places !! 

I’m in the middle of an individual struggle.. I am questioning as to why we only talk about the taker of the bribe? The act of bribe starts by giving, then why do we leave out ourselves, the giver of bribe !! Why do we make an excuse, that we are forced to give !!  Can we really achieve something if we don’t clean this at the source!!

Fact is, the taker just gets a small part of the benefit compared to what the giver derives!! For a Challan of 500/- when we pay 100/- as bribe, the taker gets 100/- while the giver saves 400/-. 

At GOONJ we have taken a small step!!  150 of us and our families are taking a pledge that come what may, never in our life will we give or take bribe!! It was an emotional moment to see how people decided not to pay Rs. 200/- for getting a pan card and instead decided to go through the long but right path. It’s not about numbers but can we expect even a lakh people to start with and then let the community grow..

Aagaaz.. is a new beginning that’s being made!! (www.aagaaz.org). Not much to read but a simple form to take a pledge. Do write back if there is any technical issue. It’s a beginning…with just the money we all have individually collected amongst ourselves!! 

Do forward it to people.. your friends, relatives, networks… People are taking a printed copy to their offices, societies, schools.. There is no compulsion. if you feel strongly.. Let the resolve strengthen and spread !!

Collective power can do anything.. we are witnessing that… 

We want volunteers to take it up, we want you to write to us and ask for copies, go to Ramlila ground and ask people to pledge!! Let this one act become a commitment.. 

I often wonder how a hungry person can solve the problem of hunger of someone else!! Similarly if I’m corrupt, I need to do more than light a candle against corruption!!

Can the aagaaz (the beginning..) happen from me !!

Rs. 58 lakh in cash and over 2.3 kg of gold seized during CBI searchesOfficials of the Central Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday arrested a top Income Tax official on charges of taking a Rs. 50-lakh bribe from the managing director of a private educational institution here

Additional Commissioner Andasu Ravindar (45), a 1991-batch Indian Revenue Service officer, allegedly took the money to favour the institution in a tax evasion case, sources in the CBI said.

According to an official in the CBI's Anti-Corruption Branch, Mr. Ravindar on August 4 organised a search/survey on the premises of the Chennai-based Everonn Education Limited, a firm that provides in-school education through V-SAT and Internet. The search revealed that the managing director of the firm, P. Kishore (49), had concealed taxable income to the tune of Rs. 116 crore. After the evasion was unearthed, Mr. Kishore contacted Mr. Ravindar, through a chartered accountant. Following negotiations, it was agreed that Rs. 50 lakh would be paid to Mr. Ravindar to reduce the taxable income by Rs. 60 crore.

On Mr. Ravindar's instructions, the money was handed over in his house (IT officers' quarters, Nungambakkam). At this stage, the CBI received a tip-off and formed a special team to investigate the matter. As Mr. Ravindar was trying to move the cash to an unknown place with the help of his associate, Uttam Chand Bora (42), the team intercepted the two and detained them for interrogation on Monday night.

After preliminary enquiries, the team arrested Mr. Ravindar, Mr. Bora and Mr. Kishore. Simultaneous searches conducted on the premises of Mr. Bora, Mr. Ravindar and others related to the case in Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and Bangalore resulted in the seizure of Rs. 58 lakh in cash and more than 2.3 kg of gold

“The searches are still on and the exact quantum of seizure would be known later. We seized about 30 foreign liquor bottles from the official residence of Mr. Ravindar. The seizure was referred to the Chennai police for proceeding against him under the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act,” the CBI official said.

Investigation revealed that Mr. Ravindar had frequently visited foreign countries in the recent years. “We have reasons to believe that there have been a lot of benami transactions involving the official. A case has been registered against the three accused under various provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988,” They were produced in a special court and remanded in judicial custody, the CBI official said.

Former Haryana legislator Dharamveer Yadav jailed for 4 years

Dharamveer Yadav, a former minister of Haryana got sentenced for 4 years in holding assets disproportionate to identified sources of income. He was given the party ticket from Sahlawas Vidhan Sabha constituency, and was made minister by Bansi Lal.

IT IS believed that politics is good investment with good returns. But it was not the case with Dharambir Yadav. He has made a number of enemies after he joined politics. Additional session’s judge convicted him under prevention of corruption act and sentenced him for imprisonment for a span of four years for holding assets disproportionate to identified sources of income.

Yadav was a lecturer in Government College, Jind, in Haryana. He was leading a happy life. Those days Bansi Lal's Haryana Vikas party was gaining ground in Haryana and elections to Haryana Assembly were due in 1996. Dharamveer Yadav, from Gurgaon had good income from his property and joined Haryana Vikas Party. He was given a party ticket from Sahlawas Vidhan Sabha constituency, and was made minister by Bansi Lal.

He held important portfolios of P.W.D and forest. His ministerial stint was controversial. He was a butt of many jokes among officers of his department. After being appointed as a minister, he addressed the district officers at Rohtak. Yadav asked the forest department officials to grow sangwan trees in Rohtak. When he was told that the climate of Rohtak is not suitable for sangwan tress, the officials were given a dressing down by the minister.

Yadav joined hands with dissidents and toppled the Bansi Lal government. Om Parkash Chautala took over as chief minister of the state, which was bad luck for Yadav. His house in Gurgaon district was demolished by town and country planning department authorities on the ground that it had violated some of the rules and regulations.

Yadav changed many political parties during this period. It is interesting to mention here that apart from Yadav, Chautala has filed corruption cases against so many politicians but they were withdrawn by Bhupinder Singh Hooda.

One evening during this CJ's posting with Jansatta in Rohtak, a gentleman came to office with a packet of dry fruits stating that he had brought them for me from Jammu. After I failed to recognise him, he introduced himself as Dharamveer Yadav reminding me that I had spoken to a higher education department boss about his transfer from Govt College, Jind. On my enquiry about his latest posting he told that he had resigned from his job. Yadav said that he had joined Haryana Vikas party, and Bansi Lal had assured him of a party ticket.
