CBI books Sanjay Bhandari for ‘corruption’ in petroleum contract
The CBI has registered a case of corruption against arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari, Samsung Engineering Ltd and unknown officials of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) among others for alleged irregularities in award of a contract related to a petroleum project at Dahej in Gujarat.
Sources said the case was registered based on a reference sent by the Enforcement Directorate to CBI last year when ED was probing an alleged London property associated with Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra. The latter has denied owning any property in London.
Among those booked by the CBI are Bhandari’s company M/s. Santech International, FZC, UAE; M/s. Samsung Engineering Co. Ltd., South Korea; M/s. Foster Wheeler Energy Ltd., UK; Hong NamKoong, the then Senior Manager of SECL and “unknown officials of ONGC/OPal”.
