Army Land near India-Pak border sold for Rs 1500 crores (US $ 350 million) -CBI

New Delhi, Oct 3 (TruthDive): In an another major embarrassment and exposing the chinks in the border security the CBI unearthed a large land scam conducted by the Defense Estates and land sharks by which land was sold next to air force base and 15 Corps regiment HQ.

200 acres of the land is priced anywhere between Rs 1,200 crore and Rs 1,500 crore. Collusion of State Government officials is also being probed. The corps is at the center of counter-terrorism operations in the Valley and responsible for guarding a 300-km stretch of the line of control running between the Pir Panjal range and Zojila.

Last June, Army blacklisted seven firms including artillery maker Singapore Technologies and state-run Israeli Military Industries after police accused a defense ministry bureaucrat of taking bribes. The step froze a US$240-million Israeli arms contract and ended the army’s dreams of acquiring modern artillery worth over US1 billion from the firm
