Chairman & MD of govt-owned BEL has threatened me with legal action for exposing the PM CARES ventilator scam.
He forgot that BEL comes under RTI Act.
Filed an RTI with BEL asking how many BEL Skanray CV200 ventilators were sold with funds under PM CARES & at what price.

If PM CARES won't tell us the price of 1 purchased CV200 ventilator, BEL most definitely can.
Let's see how many ventilators were actually procured under PM CARES & at what price.
Dear @cmdbel - while you send me a legal notice, ensure that you answer this RTI first.

A fun unrelated fact: BEL also manufactures EVMs used in elections.
In Sep. 2019, Venkatesh Nayak of @CHRI_INT had filed an RTI with BEL seeking some details on EVMs & VVPAT. They blocked it in a very strange manner.
Here's his piece from @thewire_in :

PS: It's turning out to be a full intimidation campaign now. Got this message from a well-wisher.
What does this mean? This means something is terribly rotten in the state of Denmark.
Will fight this on the front foot come what may. We need answers.
