It was further alleged that the accused Public Servants grossly violated the guidelines of the Government of India pertaining to the tendering process, dishonestly screened out reputed bidders on bogus grounds and allowed insignificant firms who had misrepresented facts in their tender documents, to remain in the fray. It was also alleged that the accused deliberately ignored the existence of Cartel formation in these Tenders. The accused thereafter allegedly caused the disappearance of crucial evidence of the offence. An alleged loss of Rs.2.41 crore (approx.) in the procurement of a Road Sweeping Machine and Rs.2 crore (approx.) in the award of tender for setting up of a Chemist Shop was caused to AIIMS.
