5 56 Insas Rifle Manual
Rifles, Cartridges found missing in SAPB Battalion: CAG report
Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 12 (PTI) In a shocking
revelation, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India
has found shortage of 5.56 mm INSAS rifles and 12,061 live
cartridges in a joint verification held in the Special Armed
Police Battalion (SAPB) here.
The report on General and Social sector for the year
ending March 31, 2018, was tabled in the Kerala Assembly on
Wednesday.
The CAG report also found that anti Maoist operations at
Palakkad, Malappuram, Idukki and Wayanad suffered due to
dependence of police forces on analog communication equipment.
The state government, it said, had 'failed' to make
timely payment of spectrum charges and obtain license from the
Union government for procuring Digital Mobile Radios.
The audit found that the stock register and related
records of arms and ammunition in the SAPB were 'not properly
maintained'.
'The entries in the stock registers had many over
writings, use of white correction fluid and striking off of
entries etc.
The entries and corrections were not properly
authenticated.
Audit could not find any evidence of conduct of periodic
physical verification by higher officers from the records
available at SAPB', the report said.
A joint verification was conducted on October 16, 2018 to
test check, including physical verification, in the battalion
to assess whether physical stock of arms and ammunitions
matched with the stock registers and whether the system of
accounting of arms and ammunitions was 'robust and reliable'.
The verification conducted in the Bell-of-Arms of SAPB,
along with the Assistant Commandant, revealed shortage of 25
numbers of 5.56 mm INSAS rifles and 12,061 live cartridges.
While the police department was aware of the shortage in
ammunition, it 'attempted to cover up' the shortfall instead
of identifying and taking action against the culprits
responsible for the loss of ammunition, the report said.
It was also found that the shortage of 250 numbers of 9 mm
Drill Cartridges was sought to be covered up by replacing the
same with 250 dummy cartridges.
There was no document on record to show how these dummy
cartridges came into the possession of the SAPB and how these
were taken into stock.
The report recommended that in view of the serious
security implications, Government should take urgent steps to
trace the missing cartridges and rule out the loss of rifles.
It suggested that similar stock taking of arms and
ammunition be undertaken in all battalions and police
stations, including Police Chief Stores immediately.
The report also came down on the state police Chief and
said the official violated the MPF (Modernisation of Police
Force) scheme guidelines, which prohibits procurement of
vehicles for VIP/VVIP security utilising the MOPF funds.
The police department procured two bullet resistant
vehicles to ensure security of VIPs, VVIPs and Z+ category
visitors to Kerala at a total cost of Rs 1.10 crore without
inviting tenders as required under the Stores Purchase Manual.
The objective of providing increased mobility to the
police forces as envisaged under the MOPF scheme would have
been achieved had the police department procured bullet
proof/mine proof vehicles for deployment in naxal infested
areas rather than acquiring bullet proof cars for VIP
security, the report said.
The state police chief diverted Rs 2.81 crore meant for
construction of Upper subordinate staff quarters for
construction of villas for SPC/ADGPs, it said. PTI UD APR
