CBI Files Closure Report in Tatra Vehicle Scam

New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday filed a closure report in a case related to alleged irregularities in Tatra all-terrain vehicle supplied to the Indian army.

The closure report was filed before before a special court in New Delhi.

According to CBI sources, the closure report was filed due to insufficient evidence against the accused in the case.

CBI had registered a first information report for alleged irregularities in assigning supply from Czechoslovakia-based Tatra, with which the agreement was originally signed in 1986, to the Tatra-Sipox UK in 1997 showing it as original equipment manufacturer and the fully-owned subsidiary of the Czech company which was allegedly against rules.

It has alleged that there was a conspiracy to continue supply of trucks at higher prices even though other options were available with state-run Bharat Earth Movers Ltd.
