New Delhi: Union Home Ministry on Monday scrapped the tender floated for procuring 59,000 bulletproof jackets for central paramilitary forces due to irregularities in the trial.
In a press release issued on Monday evening, just a few days after CNN-IBN exposed massive irregularities in the trials for the bulletproof jackets, Home Ministry scrapped the multi-crore deal.
"The Ministry of Home Affairs has decided that the Technical Evaluation Committee and Tender Advisory Committee may be advised to maintain strict vigilance and ensure scrupulous adherence to the terms and conditions of the tender," the release said.
The Ministry also asked bidders to submit fresh samples of bulletproof jackets.
Sources in the Bureau of Police Research & Development (BPR&D) say the seven members of the sub-committee, including a Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) Joint Director named in the CNN-IBN report, now face disciplinary action.
