The Central Bureau of Investigation has booked a general manager with Broadcast Engineering Consultants India Limited (BECIL), along with three members of a family running a company, for allegedly extending favours in the award of government contracts and expeditious clearance of pending bills, in lieu of bribes.
Among the named were BECIL general manager Ramit Lala, Fusion Corporation Solution (FCS); FCS managing director Monika Dhawan; her sister and business head Charu Khanna; and their father and director J.M.P. Khanna, besides Ms. Khanna’s driver Vishnu.
BECIL is a central public sector enterprise under the Information & Broadcasting Ministry. Its general manager has been accused of conspiring with unknown officials and extending undue favours to private companies in the tender process by framing and changing the eligibility criteria apart from expeditious payment of their pending bills, in exchange for huge bribes.
