Srinagar, Dec 22: Crime Branch Kashmir today registered a case against the officials of the Rural Development Department (RDD) for floating tendering norms.
The violations were found to have been carried out in the procurement of plant material in block Aloosa of north Kashmir’s Bandipora.
The CB said that a case under FIR No. 46/2020 U/S 420, 409, 120-B RPC r/w 5(2) PC Act has been registered in the matter.
Giving details of the case, the CB said: “After conducting a preliminary verification into a written complaint received from Rural Development Department, prima facia indicates that procurement of plants has been done without inviting tender and subsequent distribution into the selected villages by the then BDO and other officials, which clearly shows the involvement of Block Development Officer Syed Shabir Rizvi, MPW’s Mohammad Amin Shah and Ghulam Mohi-ud-Din Sheikh.”
It said that the supply orders were issued to selected suppliers for extraneous considerations, adding that investigation of the case has been set in motion accordingly.
