Indirect bribe from Lt. Cmndr Of Naval Dockyard,Mumbai
One of Lt. Cmndr. called us for asking service.We do 3d animation.So he wanted to make visualization of event planning refer as 'PFR Nite'.So we got in-house quote of 5.5 lakhs due to very tight deadlines and complexity but they told me their budget is only 20,000 Inr so as we want to work for army we make to 30,000 Inr.And how we did it, we also don't know we do because we belief in Indian navy and want to be a part of it.
So we asked for purchase order and he show me the mail of his boss(DGM) and convience us that don't worry you will get this is 2 days.But we are in hurry so we want to start work from now.We did it in as deadline and in meantime we ask 2-3 times for p.o. but he avoid it.And when we ask about check then he told me "take it in cash because in case of cheque you will get in 1-1.5 month and after that everyone here will take 1% of the amount so we agreed on cash and he said I'll arrange the cash" I thought he is an officer so it will legal for sure.We worked and then we pressured him for P.O. or advance payment then form nowhere he give tell us to call another firm which will give u advance then we thoguht why another firm when deal is direct from navy.But soon we find that from outside he was Naval Offier but from Inside he was agent of that firm. So he came to our office and said that "he believe in piracy" so we argued that "I can't because we are a firm so we should do legal buiness".And by listening this he went from here and he changed his mind.The actual scene was this "he negotiated us with 30,000 INR, we thought it is transparent.So we agreed on this.He with his own will didn't give us purhase order.And involved another firm by saying his that he his giving this work to his firm(point noted here: that firm sells electronics, printers etc. they doesn't even know what is animation.They doesn't even know what is the project) in 50,000 INR.At first he was thinking that after take payment from navy we will give 30,000 INR to us and rest 20,000 Inr he will distribute with him and the another firm." But after visiting us he changed his mind and he tried to do fraud and to not give us single penny.
In the other side we completed his project because we always belief that in govenment our payment can't take away because this is not the private project of anyone but after this we stopped delivery.He tried to fear us but as we show them that we have the prove of his corruption he feared by us and we lost our work.This is my story.
