New Delhi, Nov 13: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has booked its own Deputy Legal Advisor (DLA) attached to an anti-corruption unit for alleged forgery of her Annual Performance Appraisal Reports (APARs) for three consecutive years.

The accused Beena Raizada is currently with the agency’s Anti Corruption-VI (Delhi) which is handling the Vyapam scam cases.

The FIR has been registered following an inquiry into allegations that Ms. Raizada that forged signatures on her work appraisal reports. She had joined the Patna’s Anti-Corruption Branch as Senior Public Prosecutor in May 2014 and on promotion, she became a DLA in November 2014.

Ms. Raizada was relieved from there in January 2017 and transferred to the AC-VI unit.

In the office of Department of Prosecution at Delhi headquarters of the CBI, the accused personally submitted her three appraisal reports for 2014, 2015 and 2016, along with the assessment notes for the same period, purportedly bearing the signatures of V.K Singh, the then Deputy Inspector-General (DIG) and head of the Patna’s anti-corruption branch.

All the said assessment notes certified the performance of Ms. Raizada as “excellent.” However, during the inquiry, Mr. Singh — who is now the Inspector-General of Police of the Jaipur Range in Rajasthan — said the signatures on the assessment notes resembled his, but he had not signed those documents.

Mr. Singh said Ms. Raizada was not on duty for 90 days during 2014 and 2015 and therefore, there was no question of writing an assessment report in her favour. He stated that similarly, there was no question of writing an assessment report in her favour for 2016 as he was repatriated in 2015 to his parent department.

“It is also found that as per procedure, the assessment notes for the Law officers of the level of Assistant Public Prosecutor, Public Prosecutor and Senior Public Prosecutor posted in the Branch are issued by the DIG/Head of Branch towards Annual Appraisal,” said the agency.

However, during the relevant period, Ms. Raizada, as the then DLA, was working under Joint Director in Patna and therefore, the DIG could not have issued the said assessment notes. “This prima facie establishes that the signatures of Mr. Singh were forged with the intention to get her APARs processed favourably,” the agency said.

Kolkata (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unscheduled stop to buy ‘jhalmuri’ during poll campaigning was "drama".

Her comment came a day after Modi made a pit stop during his campaign tour in Jhargram to buy ‘jhalmuri’, a popular Bengali street food made of puffed rice, green chillies, and other spices.

"It's all drama. How come a camera was present when the Prime Minister suddenly made an unscheduled stop during the campaign? The entire episode was scripted. He was seen carrying a Rs 10 note in his pocket. Is it believable?" Banerjee said without naming Modi.

The TMC supremo was addressing a poll rally in Murarai assembly constituency in Birbhumm district.
