No evidence against Kiran Bedi in fund abuse case:crime branch

Background Eight months before  A Delhi-based lawyer Devinder Singh Chauhan had alleged that Bedi had misused donations of over Rs 50 lakh received from Microsoft for her NGO  for imparting free computer training to the children and families of BSF, CISF, ITBP, CRPF personnel and other state police organizations through her trust 'India Vision Foundation' and 'Navjyoti Foundation'.
On basis of complaint Delhi Police registered a case against Kiran Bedi for allegedly misusing funds meant for her NGOs

However, In that case crime branch has not found any evidence of misappropriation by Bedi.  According  sources in crime branch  a closure report report might be filed soon in the case.
We have examined all the documents related to donations of Rs 50 lakh by Microsoft to her NGO. The money was part of donation and there is no evidence to show that she siphoned off money for personal benefits," said a source.

Crime Branch Failed to find any evidence in following charges against Bedi

1. Bedi got permission of four community centers by an undertaking that she would not charge any fee from students, but it  alleged was  she was charging Rs 15,000 per student
2. She was also alleged for misusing  the names of various government organizations, including banks, listing them as donors to get more donations

"These allegations could not be proved and officials of Microsoft have not given any adverse statement against Kiran Bedi,"  said an officer
Crime branch officers said they would soon submit a detailed report of the investigation in the court. 

Editor's View: Its an old and well accepted political understanding that whenever a demonstration or movement against rulers gains momentum, it is tried to defame and demoralize by the rulers by each and every means. In case of T.Anna, GOVT has also tried all the means to defame it!
