In a massive fraud, it has been found that the KSEB had illegally given an excess amount of Rs 270.38 crore to the contractors for power purchase, reports Manorama Online.
According to report, this was done flouting the rule that power should be brought only from those who gave the lowest quotations. Those who quoted exorbitant rates were given out-of-turn contracts for power purchase.
These irregularities were unearthed during the annual financial stock-taking undertaken by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission at the KSEB for the period 2020-21.
By allowing such illegal deals, it is alleged that some of the top KSEB officials amassed huge sums of money as bribes.
