Army chief explains why he didn’t file case after offer of 14-crore bribe New Delhi: The Army Chief has accepted that when a bribe was offered to him for 14 crores, he should have done more than just informing the Defence Minister. General V K Singh has said that he was offered the kickback in 2010 by a retired defence officer if he cleared a sub-standard consignment of trucks. “I think it would have been better had I complained against him. The way it was said, I could not understand what he was saying,” said General Singh, who claims the retired officer told him, “Everyone takes it, what is your problem?” General Singh has not named who offered him the money. In an interview to The Hindu newspaper, the General said that the offer was made to him six months after he took over as the Army chief.
