Over the allegations of favouring a private firm for awarding tenders, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) booked former deputy general manager of Ordnance Factory Ambajhari (OFAJ), Nagpur, Deepak Lamba.

 

The CBI has also booked the private firm, Automation Engineering and Industrial Services, Nagpur, and its proprietor, Mohit Tholia, in connection with the case. Four locations have also been searched, including the residential premises of the accused, by the intelligence agency.

 

It was alleged that Lamba, during his tenure at DGM, OFAJ, Nagpur, established a proprietorship firm and, by manipulating the terms and conditions of tenders, gave tenders to the firm on the basis of a forged/false experience certificate submitted by the firm, they said.

 

"It is further alleged that the accused Dy. GM entered into multiple to-and-fro financial and banking transactions with the private firm through bank accounts of himself and his family members," the CBI Spokesperson said in a statement.
