It is working....Just Fine.
New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has reportedly issued a lookout notice against Vectra Chief Ravi Rishi. The owner of the truck manufacturing company is likely to be questioned by the CBI today and has been asked not to leave the country.
The CBI in its First Information Report (FIR), registered earlier this week, had named Mr Rishi, a London-based businessman who along with the Vectra Group also has majority stake in Tatra trucks, a Czech manufacturer.
The sale of 7000 trucks to the Army by Vectra is being formally investigated by the CBI after Army Chief VK Singh's allegation that he was offered a bribe six months after he took office in 2010.
The CBI had also raided Tatra offices in Bangalore and Delhi on Friday.
Public sector unit BEML buys Tatra parts from Vectra and assembles trucks in Bangalore that were then sold to the Army. The FIR also refers to unknown defense officials and authorities at BEML.
General VK Singh on Saturday named retired Lt General Tejinder Singh in his complaint to the CBI. He had earlier claimed that a lobbyist, who had "just" retired, offered him a bribe for clearing "sub-standard" vehicles and he had informed the Defence Minister about it. The Ministry had then recommended a CBI probe into the allegation made by the Army chief.
The CBI has now started examining the complaint received on Friday and may also question retired Lt General Tejinder Singh in connection with the case, they said.
Retired Lt General Tejinder Singh has refuted the allegations. He has also filed a defamation case against the Army chief and other officers.
