:hitwall::hitwall: HAL Technician Held for Stealing Sukhoi Blades :hitwall::hitwall:

KORAPUT: A senior technician of Sukhoi division of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Arun Kumar Pradhan, was arrested on Sunday on charges of stealing parts of the fighter aircraft, Sukhoi, from the factory premises at Sunabeda in Koraput district. He was produced in SDJM Court which remanded him in judicial custody.

Sources said HAL security personnel at the main gate caught Pradhan in possession of expensive blades of the aero engine of Sukhoi. Pradhan was later handed over to Sunabeda police.

During investigation, police seized over 198 Sukhoi aero engine blades and other parts from Pradhan’s residence at Semiliguda. During interrogation, police came to know that Pradhan, who has a workshop at Semiliguda, used to supply the blades to a private company. :hitwall::hitwall::hitwall::hitwall:

How could the components meant for Defence sector and manufactured secretly by the company be stolen despite strict surveillance within and outside the HAL premises has baffled the probing team.

Suspecting involvement of top officials in the loot, police have rounded up five senior officers of HAL and are quizzing them. The police have also asked for documents related to supply of blades for Sukhoi and other components from HAL authorities.

Koraput SP CS Meena said, “We have already sought more information from HAL to establish as to how the man could steal the blades and make those outside the factory premises for the aero engines.”

As HAL has its own security, district police have no control over the security of the Defence unit. HAL authority is also looking into the internal and external security of the factory with the help of Defence personnel

HAL Technician Held for Stealing Sukhoi Blades -The New Indian Express


I dont know what is wrong with people. Stealing Blades of Sukhoi and supplying to private company... This is serious sh!t... The security around HAL is good but still able to take out 198 blades is a slap in our face. Definitely more officers are involved. A swift investigation is needed.. National security is getting compromised here..

Pakistan does not need 198 Sukhoi engine blades ! Only 1 or 2 will suffice for study. The guy stole probably because he could steal without impunity due to lax security he would have probably sold them to junk metal shops for few thousand rupees.

Gentlemen -

Let me add some thing .......

I remember 1970s when HAL was a Beacon of Leadership. Marut, Ajeet were Beauties created by this behemoth Organization.

Weaps Delivery and Maintenance was before time.

Starting 1985 the decay started....Thanks to Rajiv Gandhi

HAL is famous for no work for 9 months of the year and Excessive over time for last 3 months...Thanks now a Vigilance cell has been created by Arun Jatley - Incase 75% staff claim O.T Vigilence cell comes to investigate.

Wish the day would come when this organization is Privatized.
