NEW DELHI: The CBI has registered a case against some
officials of the Reliance Industries and nine National
Insurance Corporation (NIC) personnel for allegedly
causing a loss of Rs 200 crore to the exchequer. This
is the second case registered against the Reliance Industries
in less than a month. The first was registered against
the Reliance on November 12 for allegedly causing a
loss to the Department of Telecommunication by re-routing
international calls as local ones. The fresh case pertains
to insurance of handset and non-billing by customers,
thereby causing a loss of over Rs 200 crore to the exchequer,
CBI sources said.
The agency also summoned relevant files from the NIC
for scrutinising before going ahead with questioning
of the officials of the Reliance and the insurance company,
they said.
The allegation against the NIC was that the company
had failed to comply with regulatory norms while offering
tailor-made risks to the company, as reported by CAG
earlier.
