CBI books 4 ITBP men for fudging oil supply records
The CBI has booked four ITBP personnel, including a Commandant, posted in Dehradun for corruption after detecting misappropriation of more than 9,000 litres of heating oil worth Rs 7.16 lakh, meant for troopers posted along the India-China border.
According to the CBI, the accused in 2018 allegedly falsified records to show two oil tankers (9,784 litres each) dispatched to border outposts (BoPs) located at over 10,000ft to 12,000ft. However, only one tanker ever reached the sector post and many BoPs did not get even a drop of oil, the CBI said.
These tankers were supposed to have reached Mana post, near Badrinath shrine in Uttarakhand, in 2018 and from there the oil was shown to have been distributed to three BoPs further up in the mountains near the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
