BEML responds to Tatra Trucks scam; threatens to file Rs 250 Cr defamation case
Dear DNA Chief Editor & Publisher
Please refer to your email dated 23rd August 2011 addressed to our CMD with copy marked to the undersigned seeking certain clarifications.
02. In this connection, we wish to point out that your newspaper has not responded so far to the letter no.PR/09/11 dated 27th July 2011 of our PR department. In the said letter, we requested you to publish our factual version in a prominent manner in your newspaper in front/first page within three days from the date of receipt of the letter. Almost after a month you are now seeking certain clarifications rather in a casual fashion.
03. We also have to point out that on 4th August 2011, the JUST LAW, our advocates have issued a legal notice on the same issue to Diligent Media Corporation Ltd, the Editor in Chief, Printer and Publisher and the Resident Editor requiring them to tender an unconditional public apology to BEML for publishing the false and baseless reports on 22nd, 23rd and 24th July 2011 and issue a letter to BEML regretting the publication of the above said false reports within seven days from the date of receipt of the notice. The legal notice further states that in the event of failure to comply the persons on whom the notices have been served, shall be liable to pay BEML a sum of Rs. 250 Crores towards the damages suffered by BEML on account of your false, malicious and defamatory report published. Till now, there has been no response to the said legal notice nor any publication has been made as sought for.
04. In light of the above position, instead of furnishing intermittent and piecemeal reply to your queries sought in your above said email dated 23rd August 2011 or other queries you may have or ask for, we propose to invite you and your DNA Investigations Bureau Team to visit our manufacturing plant producing Engine of TATRA on TOT and also to other factory producing BEML TATRA Trucks to prove it to you and your team and to establish our stand and claim that substantial indigenization has been done and only a few critical components are imported to build BEML TATRA Trucks.

During the visit proposed, we will organize a press meet with your team and other National Press / Media reporters will also be invited wherein we are willing to provide any information or documentation or clarification that you may need on the subject and to completely clear your doubts including the ones asked for in your email dated 23rd August 2011. This is proposed with a view to ensure that the whole issue is clarified once and for all to you and the national press so that the whole country can report the
same appropriately for the benefit of the public at large.
05. Please send in a line of confirmation for participating in the above program so that BEML can organize the same on a convenient date and invite all of you along with other National Press / Media reporters.
