NEW DELHI: The
CBI filed a
chargesheet
against
Yadav
Singh, the former Noida chief engineer who is accused of orchestrating a massive tenders scam, his wife Kusumlata and 12 others, including three firms, on Tuesday.
Singh and the others have been charged with criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery, fraud and abetment and various sections of the Prevention of
Corruption
Act. The agency filed the chargesheet before the special CBI court in Ghaziabad in a case related to laying of underground cables at Noida’s Udyog Marg and Mater Plan 1 road.
The CBI has claimed allotment of the work was pre-decided, tender formalities were wilfully violated and the estimate highly inflated to give the contractor undue gain, leading to an alleged loss of Rs 19 crore to the exchequer. It said probe in allotment of 1,280 projects worth Rs 959 crore and other instances of corruption were on.
CBI sources said Kusumlata received illegal remittances in the form of investments and layered transactions. “She was not named in the FIR but her name was included after her active role emerged during the probe. Ramendra Singh (an aide of Yadav Singh and a former project engineer in Noida) detail the manner in which bribes were distributed among officials. He used to maintain a diary in which details of commissions and its distribution chain were recorded,” a source said.
In March 2011, the Noida Authority decided to initiate the process of laying of underground cables at MP-1 road. The CBI found during its probe that a firm named JSP Infrastructure got a contract for Rs 21.99 crore while Tirupati Construction got a contract for Rs 25.53 crore on December 8, 2011. However, these companies had already started work in September 2011 and, by the time the contract was officially given to them in December that year, they had completed 60% of the work. The tenders were issued in March 2011 and bids were opened in late November 2011.
Among those who figure in the CBI report are Ramendra, assistant project engineers Devi Ram Arya and Jaipal
Singh
, junior engineers Rajeev Kumar, RD Sharma and Om Pal Singh, Tirupati Constructions and its managing partner V K Goel, JSP Construction and its partner Pankaj Jain and NKG Infrastructure and its managing director Pradeep Garg.
Noida police had registered an FIR on June 13, 2012 detailing the allegations. Interestingly, the FIR ended in closure and a final report by the police in January 2014.
