In this article we are now going to show some true facts as
to how "Holy" the govt bodies CBI & CVC are. Indian public always
knew about CBI, infact even the apex court has now passed judgment on their
role. Here we'll take one particular issue to show all how unethically they
work, with solid proofs obtained through RTIs and contacts in Coal India.
Last one year IIT Kharagpur was without any proper head,
even though Director got selected. Prof P P Chakrabarti got selected but his
appointment got embroiled in "Self-Created" controversy by CVC. Check
these links to get more details on the issue which even lead to the launch of
"PPC for Director" Movement by IIT Kharagpur alumni, faculty &
students.
Now let us show you the TRUE facts behind the whole
controversy. Many a time’s people told us about CVC being corrupt. But we
decided not to believe them. But now we feel differently and feel Indian public
need to see "How an Innocent Prof gets Harassed by CVC". (Clicking the images
would give enlarged view)
Coal Net project was collaboration between IIT Kharagpur and
Coal India (CIL) to develop software for CIL. For this IIT Kharagpur took
manpower help from another company TCG. Presumably, on a complaint from Coal
India, CBI investigated and asked for major penalty against two professors
while minor penalty against Prof P P Chakrabarti (PPC). Charges against PPC
being - "Misrepresenting" IITs stand to Coal India. Let us show you the
entire letter which was construed as "PPC misrepresenting" to CIL. You
all can decide yourself the truth behind the charge made against him.
Doc -1 - PPCs letter to Coal India. |
Going through the letter only one question comes to the
mind, “What exactly is he MISREPRESENTING”? He seems to be giving all the facts
truthfully, clearly and transparently that man-power help was taken from TCG.
How come CBI call this misrepresentation and later same is charged by even
CVC???
Is telling the truth supposed to be Fault as per CBI &
CVC!!!
Now let us go through few more documents, they'll put few
more holes into this whole so called "Investigation against
Corruption".
Doc -2 : Prof Acharya et all application to Dean SRIC Prof Bhowmick |
The application above shows Prof Acharya asking then Dean
SRIC to approve man-power help from TCG. Point to be noted here: They clearly
talk about "Man Power" approval and not total outsourcing of the
project as being claimed by CBI, Coal India, CVC and also our dear media.
But question that arises:
1. How come Prof Acharya never got named in the CBI
report???
2. How come CVC gave clearances to Prof Acharya for different
administrative posts???
Now for the third document (Posted below, Doc 3) which next shows that it was NOT
Prof Bhowmick who gave the approval for TCG man-power. He in turn got it from
the then Director.
And crux of the matter being there's nothing wrong in
getting man-power help from outside source. There has been much precedence in
different IITs where manpower help was taken from other private companies. CVC
conveniently finds no fault in the same!!! Now check the document below.
Doc - 3 : Prof Bhowmick's letter to the Director asking for approval. |
Now coming to the MOST interesting part of this whole issue. IIT Kharagpur actually is NOT at fault for anything. See the document below!
Doc - 4 : Document relating to a meeting between IIT Kharagpur and Coal India |
This document shows a meeting being arranged between Coal India and IIT Kharagpur by Prof R N Bannerjee. Do look through the names who were CCed in the letter. The named marked by a tick, #6, Mr S K De, he is from TCG.
The letter is dated 25th June 2001, clearly proved one fact - Coal India was very much AWARE OF TCG BEING PART OF THIS PROJECT!!!
In that case how come Coal India complains about the issue???
But more importantly, How come CBI & CVC suddenly find all fault with IIT Kharagpur and not CIL?? Isn't making false charges a penalty in itself?
But more importantly, How come CBI & CVC suddenly find all fault with IIT Kharagpur and not CIL?? Isn't making false charges a penalty in itself?
So what kind of investigation was this??? The main people
involved here, like Prof Acharya, never got implicated but the one person, who
had NOTHING to do with the project, gets implicated and face the harshest of
all punishment. Was this done in error or deliberately??
And now coming to the covering letter of the CBI report.
Doc - 5 : CBI report covering letter. |
Check #3 point made by them. They clearly say THIS REPORT
WON'T BE CITED AND RELIED UPON DOCUMENT IN ANY Departmental inquiries!!! Wow!!
And CVC made sure to make one of the biggest "false issues" against
an innocent man relying upon such an investigating document. That's how
Vigilance Department works in Our Dear Country India!!!
Here's more info that happened these past few months, which raises lot of questions if the issue
was created deliberately. We'll put them all point-wise and leave you all to
come to your conclusions.
Each event with regards to CVC is being presented
chronologically below:
.
.
.- But Prof Chakraborty's ordeal does not end here. The next senior Vigilance officer sat upon the file for more than three months. CVC by doing this broke their service rule. It was only after alumni, faculty and students started a nationwide protest, added to it was an ultimatum from MHRD, and they decided to give him the clearance. Can any CVC officer explain what action was taken against this particular Vigilance officer who broke the rule? CVC seem to be on toe when it comes to taking action against others, how about cleaning your own home!! And what is important for all to know here is the fact that “This particular Vigilance Officer (even the earlier one investigating the case) has close contacts with Prof Rajeev Kumar, and even with few office bearers of Aam Aadmi Party who are friends of Rajeev Kumar.”.
Now that events are explained, we have few questions for CVC with regards to Harassment of an innocent academician.
1. The first question being, queries were made four years
back to Prof Chakrabarti by BOG to which he gave defense and was cleared. He gave the same defense again to CVC for the
same queries. CVC had with them previous inquiry documents. How come for the
same answers they first refuse clearance and later for the same explanations,
CVC feels he is innocent and clears him of all charges??? Isn't that IRONICAL
& ATROCIOUS!!!
2. CVC seems to depend upon a report by CBI which they
themselves have asked NOT TO BE RELIED UPON!!! (Doc - 5) Isn't that height of
ridiculous action on part of CVC??? Or was it a deliberate vindictive action?
3. How come CVC don’t find anything wrong in giving clearance
to IIT Kanpur Dy Registrar Mr C P Singh when criminal case is still pending in
Supreme Court against him? (Case No 2828/2011)
4. How come Vigilance keeps quiet about appointments at IIT
Madras, especially K Panchalan as registrar even though they did not meet the
eligibility criteria?? When it came to Dr Ghoshal of IIT Kharagpur, CVC feels
he does not have the required 55% in his PG so he should be removed from the
position. But same was with K Panchalan and his appointment was fine with CVC
when the then IIT Director of Madras explained - "He does not have the
required 55% in PG but had done PhD so the requirement do not count anymore
once you get a higher degree".
5. How does CVC explain giving clearance to IIT Patna
Director who was named for major penalty in the same CIL case and in case of
Prof Chakraborty who had minor penalty (though all documents showed he was
clean), his clearance was kept under wrap for full one year.
6. When they did such an in-depth investigation, how come
they never saw Prof Damodar Acharya to be part of the main team working in the
project, who even received financial benefits? They conveniently gave him
clearance for becoming the member of RBI governor, HOW?? By the way, there's
also a CBI case pending against Prof Acharya with regards to running a fake
institute inside IIT Campus, CVC doesn’t find that to be of any importance to
investigate. Prof Rajeev Kumar has said openly in many forums’ of carrying a
personal grudge against Prof PPC, does that have any bearing over the entire
ordeal that Prof PPC faced with CVC, more as the officers who handled the file,
both are Prof Rajeev Kumar’s friend? We leave it upon our readers to decide!!!
CONCLUSIONS:
It is evident clearly that CVC has different parameters for
penalty with regards to investigating cases. In a same case one with major
penalty can get clearance easily, one who is involved throughout the issue
NEVER gets named/charged yet THE one person who is innocent, face the wrath and
ordeal. Prof PPC faced the most unfair ordeal. And why, cause he told the truth,
that's the biggest irony of the whole case. Prof Acharya who was working full
time with the project, even got financial benefits, never got charged. He
enjoyed every administrative position, let alone faces any penalty.
And when we go through few other issues with regards to CVC
against IIT Kharagpur (they all are complaints made by Rajeev Kumar to CVC), we
find similar cases happening at other IITs and Govt institutions but CVC found
it comfortable to ignore those. Best example being the case of IIT Kharagpur
Registrar case. Why is CVC targeting IIT Kharagpur in particular?
Moreover, CVC is the worse
ones when it comes to replying to RTIs. Either they never reply or if
occasionally they do so, they come up with some reason why they are unable to
give us the document. RTIs made by us asking for data on few particular
clearance issues given in the past by them were replied with a message that
they don’t keep record for the same. If this is not an Atrocious reply what
would be no idea!!!
BTW each and every alumnus who got such replies or false info
can now complain against CVC to CIC asking for action.
Matter of worry is the manner in which a constitutional body
is running. Being independent and without any control, they can cause lot of
harm if they want to as was done in the case of Prof PPC. We feel Prof PPC/IIT
admins should slap a case/PIL against CVC for causing immense harassment, for being
unfair and cause damage to his reputation and even of IIT Kharagpur.
People like Kejriwal and his party members are always
singing serenades of how great constitutional bodies can be. CVC and this
particular case is a blatant example of how even such bodies can be run with
malicious intentions. (Interesting to note, we found that too many Aam Aadmi
Party members are hand in glove with these vigilance officers and Rajeev
Kumar). Mr Kejriwal, do catch up with Ashok Khemka and get more details about
Prof Chakrabarti, you'll get to know the truth behind this particular case,
about THE Man everyone refer to as PPC and also Rajeev Kumar. Stop talking big
about fight against corruption when your own party office bearers indulge into
such corrupt practice and be part of harassing an innocent man.
Today we get to see likes of Durga Shakti and Ashok Khemka
in bureaucracy facing flak for being honest. Any intelligent person would know its
people in bureaucracy itself who are also behind what they face; politicians
cannot do anything on their own unless babus agree to follow. Not that our
bureaucracy do not have honest officers. But when you see ones in depts like
CVC behaving thus, it’s worrying! It is a clear indication that number of
honest officers is decreasing and the day dishonest ones grow more in number
than the honest ones, whole system would collapse!!! Even Lok Pal cannot help
in such a scenario; can it be ensured that even that body would have all the
honest ones??? Where to find them, already honest ones seem to be a rare
species.
Signing off, hoping, that this immoral system of our country
changes for the better soon. Else many more honest men would face unfair
treatment just as Prof P P Chakrabarti faced.
Cheers!!!!
