CAG Publishes Report On Devas Wrongdoing

The Comptroller-Auditor-General's office has come out with its report on the wrongdoing in the Devas-Antrix deal. I have to admit, Nair's conduct looks less than stellar. At minimum, Nair appears to have committed a lot of negligence. Maybe that's an occupational hazard for high-flying self-absorbed scientists. Nair himself is now admitting to lapses. I'm really hoping he didn't pocket money from this deal. But it's hard to believe that politicians weren't involved in the wrongdoing, especially since the Indian system always spares politicians from indictment.
