Tatra Truck Deal
CBI registers case, searches 4 places
New Delhi, March 30
As the CBI today registered a case on the supply of all-terrain Tatra trucks for the Army, the government said Defence Minister AK Antony had sanctioned a probe into “a case relating” to Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML) on February 21 this year. The government, it seems, wanted to convey that the minister acted much before Army Chief General VK Singh bribe allegations hit headlines on March 26. The General had alleged that he was offered a bribe of Rs 14 crore by a lobbyist for okaying a deal for 600 “substandard” trucks.
