Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee(NPCC) has described the press clarification issued by the former DGP over the Rs.18 crore scam in the police department as \u201cmisleading and an attempt to absolve himself\u201d.<\/p>\n
Reacting to the ex DGP\u2019s clarification, NPCC media cell said it was compelled to provide a detailed version as per the CAG report and the findings of the Public Accounts Committee(PAC) , since former had given \u201chis own edited version\u201d on \u201chow the Rs.18 crore issue reared up\u201d. <\/p>\n
According to NPCC, the DGP received Rs.18 crore during 2009-10 for purchase of arms\/ammunition, vehicles and other security-related equipments to raise six(6)new companies of commando force. <\/p>\n
It said the CAG Nagaland, after a thorough probe, indicted the DGP for having fraudulently withdrawn Rs.18 crore by producing \u201cfictitious bills\u201d with the administrative approval of then home minister Imkong L.Imchen \u201cwho is also the co-accused\u201d. <\/p>\n
NPCC said during audit, the CAG Nagaland, had written confidential letters to the firms to confirm if they had submitted bills on supply of various items. In their reply, the following firms – 1. <\/p>\n
Ordnance Factory, Khamaria,Jabalpur; 2. Bridgegap Associated, New Delhi; 3.Laggar Industries Limited, Jalandhar;4.M\/s Sanchar Telesystem Limited, New Delhi and 5.Tata Motors Limited, Guwahati – confirmed that they had neither supplied materials to DGP Nagaland nor raised any bills.<\/p>\n
The NPF-led DAN government constituted a high level enquiry committee headed by then principal secretary agriculture & APC H.K.Khulu IAS to\u201dverify the CAG report\u201d said NPCC said it found only \u201cprocedural lapses with no mala fide intention\u201d. <\/p>\n
However NPCC asserted there was a pre-meditated intent and action of fraud, since the DGP had drawn the money with fully vouched treasury bill and \u201cfictitious sub-vouchers\u201d from the five firms. <\/p>\n
It also said the then chief secretary Lalthara who was Vigilance Commissioner, had refused to accept the complaint lodged by the Congress. <\/p>\n
NPCC said the PAC, headed by Dr Nicky Kire MLA and brother of the then DGP, which took up the case, had \u201cmerely duplicated\u201d H.K.Khulu\u2019s report. <\/p>\n
It accused NPF government of an attempt to \u201ccover up\u201d in setting up of the enquiry committee in January 2011 even before the CAG report was tabled in the house and the PAC to examine the CAG report. <\/p>\n
On the former DGP claiming that what he had done was in the interest of the police department and the state, NPCC demanded he come out publicly in whose interest details of proforma invoices manipulated to draw the Rs.18 crore. <\/p>\n
NPCC said Rs.164.88 lakhs was deposited into the state treasury in 2013 only afer it had repeatedly raised the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
