Will look into PSU bribe allegations: Central Vigilance Commission

The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) today said it will look into the allegations of bribery against officials of state-owned BHEL and NTPC once their names are disclosed by the US Department of Justice.

"We have our chief vigilance officers in all organisations and they are suppose to carry out their job," the CVC's Chief Technical Examiner, V Ramachandran, told reporters, adding that the commission will scrutinise the matter whenever it is brought to its notice.

Ramachandran said this while responding to queries on the documents presented by the US Department of Justice in an American court stating that California-based Control Component Inc had bribed officials of Indian PSUs, including BHEL, NTPC and several state electricity boards, to bag orders.

California-based Control Component Inc (CCI) on June 31, 2009, pleaded guilty before the US court to having committing bribery in 36 countries from 2003 to 2007.
