The CBI on Saturday conducted searches at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in connection with alleged fraud of `1 crore by its Deputy Chief Security officer in the tender for providing security services at the prestigious institute.
The agency has registered a case of alleged cheating, forgery and under relevant sections of Prevention of Corruption Act against Deputy Chief Security Officer of AIIMS Rajiv lochan and owner of Janakpuri-based Prehari Protection Services Kamaljit Singh, CBI sources said.
The matter pertains to 2009-10 when the accused firm Prehari Protection was allegedly favoured by lochan in the tendering for providing security guards and installation of security equipment on the AIIMS premises.
They said lochan allegedly connived with Singh in extending favours to his company resulting in loss of `1 crore to the exchequer.
The sources said the agency will question lochan soon. During its searches, the agency collected documents related to the tender and other important records.
Four places including house and office of lochan at AIIMS complex and at the official and residential premises of Singh in Janakpuri were searched.
